PARTICLE IDENTIFICATION BY dE/dx MEASUREMENT IN JADE+

نویسنده

  • A. Wagner
چکیده

For the central tracking chamber of the JADE detector [l] at the e+estorage ring PETRA a new type of drift chamber, the so-called jet chamber, has been developed [Z-4]. This chamber is capable of recording events of high local track density (jets) with good space and double track resolution and with the possibility of particle identification within a solid angle close to ~I'I sterad. The concept of this chamber was developed in 1976 and data taking at PETRA has started in 1979. Details about the jet chamber and its performance have been published previously [5,6]. Before discussing particle identification the principle of the jet chamber is shortly described.

dE/dx PROTOTYPE TEST*

A small prototype of a multiwire dE/dx detector was tested in SLAC's test beam. The basic concept of the detector was similar to the JADE drift cell design. The purpose of the test was to decide on some design parameters for a full size prototype, which is now in construction. Introduction Our motivation was to concentrate on the particle identification below 4 GeV/c which is about the limit of...

Measurement of the Baryon-Antibaryon Asymmetry in Photoproduction at HERA H1 Collaboration

Results are given for the inclusive photoproduction of protons and antiprotons measured with the H1 detector in ep collisions at HERA. The particle identification is based on dE=dx measurement. A non-vanishing baryon asymmetry has been observed in the photon hemisphere. The baryon asymmetry is studied as a function of the charged particle multiplicity. Abstract: 556 Parallel sessions: 5 Plenary...

RELATIVISTIC PARTICLE IDENTIFICATION BY dE/dx: THE FRUITS OF EXPERIENCE WITH ISIS

The experience of ten years of studying dE/dx is summarised. First, a helpful, if qualitative, picture of the electromagnetic field of a relativistic particle passing through a medium is discussed. Second, the salient steps in a rigorous calculation of dE/dx are outlined. Results of calculations for a variety of gases and configurations are given and the weakness of the calculation is pointed o...

Particle 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...

A 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...
