18Ne(d,p)

Alison says:
18Ne beam at 54 MeV with 8mm (probably FWHM) beam spot on CD2 target of 410 ug/cm2 thickness.
Detecting protons from (d,p) at backangles with LEDA at 74mm.
want to know resolution of protons, taking into account beam straggling, dead layer, angular width of strip and straggling, everything basically
excited states at 2.5 MeV, 4.033MeV, 4.140MeV and 4.329 MeV

Here's some results...
Simulated energy spectra for the innermost, middle, and outermost strips of the upstream LEDA:

When I try fitting a gaussian to the lowest energy peak in strip 0, I end up with a sigma of something like 300 keV.
Energy vs effective angle of strip: colours and sizes of markers indicate number of hits:
