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
