(a)–(d) Schematic representation of the possible reciprocal positions of carbon ions and alphas arriving on the ToF detector. The highlights the temporal separation between the signal generated by the alphas and carbon ions, points out the interval where the signal is generated by the contribution of alphas only when partial superimposition occurs. (e) The amplitude of and intervals for different energies and 0.5 m each curve corresponds to one of the situations depicted in (A)–(C). (f) The amplitude of corresponding to case (D) and the negative amplitude points out that this particular situation never occurs for our conditions.
