Abstract

The NIFFTE fission Time Projection Chamber has been used to measure a number of cross section ratios and fission anisotropies over the past several years. Track information from fully reconstructed three-dimensional ionization profiles have allowed for sophisticated cross section analyses that were not previously possible. Initial measurements disregarded the shape of recorded ionization profiles, which should contain particle identification information. The utility of these charge profiles will be discussed, along with future measurements they might enable.
