The large angular and momentum acceptance magnetic spectrometer VAMOS++, at GANIL, France, is frequently used for nuclear structure and reaction dynamics studies. It provides an event-by-event identification of heavy ions produced in nuclear reactions at beam energies around the Coulomb barrier. The highly non-linear ion optics of VAMOS++ requires the use of the heavy ion trajectory reconstruction methods in the spectrometer to obtain the high-resolution definition of the measured atomic mass number. Three different trajectory reconstruction methods, developed and used for VAMOS++, are presented in this work. The performances obtained, in terms of resolution of reconstructed atomic mass number, are demonstrated and discussed using a single data-set of fission fragments detected in the spectrometer.
