-Some experiments are particularly sensitive to the incoming positions and angles of the nuclei impinging on the target. Two tracking parallel plate avalanche counters (TPPAC) are installed in the [[Stations#Intermediate Plane Station#Intermediate_plane_station|intermediate plane station]] of the [[Introduction#Analysis Line|analysis line]]. The position and angles measured with both TPPACs are transformed into the corresponding coordinates in front of the target, using the transfer matrix of the second half of the analysis line. The analysis line [[Magnets#Spectrograph Dipole|dipole magnets]] downstream of the intermediate image plane filter the particles produced in the tracking detectors, which would otherwise contaminate the data.+Some experiments are particularly sensitive to the incoming positions and angles of the nuclei impinging on the target.

 Each TPPAC has an active area of 10 cm x 10 cm and is filled with isobutane at a typical __pressure of 5 torr__. The detector consists of a cathode foil with a series of aluminum strips oriented in the non-dispersive direction, followed by an anode plate and a second cathode foil with the strips oriented in the dispersive direction. A total of 128 pads are connected to the strips of each cathode foil.  The x and y positions are determined from the charge distribution on the pads. The position calibration was done using the pad pitch of 1.27 mm. Each TPPAC has an active area of 10 cm x 10 cm and is filled with isobutane at a typical __pressure of 5 torr__.
