We have developed a novel detector, referred to as an "$\alpha$-ToFdetector", for correlated measurements of atomic masses and decay properties oflow-yield, short-lived radioactive isotopes using a multi-reflectiontime-of-flight mass spectrograph. By correlating measured time-of-flightsignals with decay events, it will be possible to suppress background eventsand obtain accurate, high-precision mass values even in cases of very low eventrates. An offline test of the $\alpha$-ToF detector has shown that thetime-of-flight detection efficiency for 5.48~MeV $\alpha$-rays is more than90\% and yields a time resolution of 251.5(68)~ps and an energy resolution of141.1(9)~keV. Using a two-dimensional spectrum of the correlated $\alpha$-rayenergy and time-of-flight, the $\alpha$-rays from mixed $\alpha$ sources couldbe fairly well resolved.
