The
first serious test of the OTPC was performed at FLNR lab at JINR Dubna
in June 2006. By fragmentation of 20Ne beam at 50 MeV/u various beta
delayed proton and alpha emitters were produced. Selected ions were
separated and identified in flight by the ACCULINNA separator. We were
implanting them into the OTPC and waiting to see their decay with
emission of charged particles.The counting gas was a
mixture of 49% He + 49% Ar + 1% N2 + 1% CH4 at atmospheric pressure. Results of this experiment are mentioned in Miernik et al., NIM A581 (2007) 194.
