Charge systematic errors associated with identification methods for heavy-ion ΔE–E telescopes

The contribution of identification methods to charge systematic errors for heavy-ion ΔE–E multidetector telescopes is studied. In this context, a new identification method is presented in two versions: the first uses one ΔE value and second uses all ΔE data for each event. A Monte Carlo simulation of the response of a solid-state telescope to an isotropic flux of heavy ions is used to test the systematic errors induced by this method and by the Seamster and range methods.
