Particle Detection 1. Costituents of Matter 2. Fundamental Forces
4. Symmetries and Conservation Laws 5. Relativistic Kinematics 6. The Quark Model 7. The Weak Interaction 8. Introduction to the Standard Model
2
What do we require in a particle detector ?
3
Different information can be obtained by different techniques
5
Energy loss by ionization and excitation on the electrons of the material
6
This is the usual calculation leading to the Bethe-Bloch formula for the energy loss of a (heavy) charged particle in the bulk of a material
7
Must be supplemented by quantum mechanical considerations
8
The final formula
10
Energy loss for a heavy charged particle (heavier than the electron) in Copper
11
Radiation mechanism has to be added at very high energy
This process will dominate above a «critical» energy
14
Energy loss across all the energy board
16
Development of an electromagnetic shower
19
Cerenkov imaging
20
Threshold matching method
22
Particle Detector Systems make use of several integrated detector units
23
The part of the CDF detector at Femilab which is dedicated to muon detection
24
The CDF detector at Femilab
25
Focus detector at Femilab: a fixed target multiparticle spectrometer
26
Superkamiokande detector in the Kamioka Mine: a huge water-Cerenkov detector to search for neutrino interactions and other rare events
27
Superkamiokande detector in the Kamioka Mine
28
