Identification of Particles According To Their Mass and Energy

摘要

Number of different particles (electrons, photons, pions, protons, deuterons, etc.) are emitted during photonuclear reaction. Some of these particles hit the RANGE telescope and stop there depending on their initial energy and thickness of the detector segment. In the segmented detector, usually, different particles can be identified by looking at the energy deposited in a thin (AE) detector segment compared with the total energy E of the particle. Such a plot, known as anAE vs. E or stopping power plot which shows different bands for different types of particles. This occurs because the rate of energy loss of a particle depends on the mass and energy of the particle.
