PARTICLE DETECTION

2

Particle cannot be seen or measured „directly“

Only the result of an interaction with matterwill be observed.

In the end, everything is converted to optical pictures electric signals

Summary Bethe-Bloch

• BB valid for “heavy” particles ( m>~mµ)

• mean energy loss dE/dx normally given in MeVcm2/g

• dE/dx independent of the mass of the projectile

• Energy transfer within I < dE < Tmax

(I...mean excitation energy ~ 10·Z eV)

Mean range - range straggling

The range can be determine by passing a beam of particle with the

desired energy through different thicknesses of the material in question

and measure the ratio of transmitted to incident particles.

Energy loss of electrons and positrons

Like heavy particles electrons and positrons also suffer collisional

energy loss when passing through matter.

But also, because of their small mass, an additional energy loss

mechanism comes into play: the emission of electromagnetic radiation

arising from scattering in the electric field of the nucleus

(bremsstrahlung).

Classically: bremsstrahlung can be explained as deviation of the

electron from its straight-line caused by the electric attraction of the

nucleus field.

Collision loss

For electrons the Bethe-Bloch formula has to be modified:

• the assumption that the incident particle remains un-deflected during

the collision process is not valid (due to the small e mass)

• for electrons the collisions appear between identical particles,

therefore their indistinguishability has to take into account

Energy loss by radiation - Bremsstrahlung

At energies below a few hundred GeV electrons and positrons are the

only particles for which radiation contributes substantially to the

energy loss of the particle.

e.g. for muons (m = 106 MeV) the radiation loss is ~ 40000 times

smaller than for electrons

Interaction of photons

The behaviour of photons in matter is quite different from

that of charged particles, as photons have no electric

charge there are no inelastic collisions with atomic

electrons.

The main interactions of X-rays and -rays in matter are:

• photoelectric effect

• Compton scattering

• pair production

Photoelectric effect

Photoelectric cross

section for lead

The photoelectric effect involves the absorption of a photon by an atomic

electron and the subsequent ejection of the electron from the atom.

The energy of the outgoing electron is : E = h - B.E.

Pair productionThe process of pair production involves the

transformation of a photon into an electron-positron pair.

In order to conserve momentum, this can occur only in

the presence of a third body (e.g. nucleus).
