Study of Position Sensitive E-E for Space Particle Telescope Pre-results of Geant4 simulation 张云龙,王文骁,李翠
Motivation Study of space science is in need of information of space particle(nuclide/ion). Important parameters: energy spectrum of particle and particle flux. First of all, identify particles. (Reconstruct Z and M in simulation.)
Particle identification Bethe-Bloch formula: Energy loss of incident particle could be described by Bethe-Bloch formula. Due to ionization, particle will deposit energy in detector, and detector can output signal. The value of output signal in detector relevant to the incident particle’s charge, kinetic energy and so on. With measured detector’s signal, the particle’s charge and mass could be identified.
