UH-511-943-99 dE/dx PARTICLE IDENTIFICATION FOR COLLIDER DETECTORS
نویسنده
چکیده
One of the most successful models of ionization is the photo-absorption ionization model . The model assumes that the process of interest is dominated by single-photon exchange which allows one to relate the ionization process to the photo-absorption process for which the data is more readily available. Also the model is restricted to non-relativistic recoil electron, thus it does not include high-energy knock-on electrons (δ rays). In this model, the single collision cross section can be written as

Particle Identification Issues for Linear Collider Detectors Classification :
Wilson has designed and built particle identification systems in experiments such as the SLD experiment Cerenkov Ring Imaging Device (CRID); BaBar Detector of Internally Reflected Cherenkov light (DIRC). He has been the coordinator of the Particle ID subgroup of the American Linear Collider Physics Group, contributed to the Snowmass Resource Book, and has given numerous presentations on hadron ...
متن کاملA Bidimensional Method for Particle Identification with the ALICE TRD
One of the main objectives of the Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) at LHC at CERN is to provide electron/pion identification for pt > 1GeV/c. The separation of electrons is based on ionization dE/dx and TR production and detection. We have improved the electron identification by better considering the contributions of ionization and TR production on the dE/dx measurements. The TRD detector d...
متن کاملMomentum Resolution Improvement Technique for Silicon Tracking Detectors using dE/dx
A technique for improving the momentum resolution for low momentum charged particles in few layer silicon based trackers is presented. The particle momenta are determined from the measured Landau dE/dx distribution and the Bethe-Bloch formula in the 1/β2 region. It is shown that a factor of two improvement of the momentum determination is achieved as compared to standard track fitting methods. ...
متن کاملParticle Identification Using De/dx in the Mark Ii Detector at the Slc*
The central drift chamber in the Mark II detector at the SLAC Linear Collider has been instrumented with loo-MHz Flash-ADCs. Pulse digitization provides particle identification through the measurement of average ionization loss in the chamber. We present the results of a study of system performance and outline the systematic corrections that optimize resolution. The data used are from a short t...

I review explanations for the three neutrino anomalies (solar, atmospheric and LSND) which go beyond the “conventional” neutrino oscillations induced by mass-mixing. Several of these require non-zero neutrino masses as well.
