Relativistic Charged Particle Identification by Energy-Loss

摘要

Contents: Introduction-(Relativistic particle identification, and the energy-loss method); The atomic cross-section-(Kinematics, the mean energy-loss in a medium, the generalized oscillator strength density, the cross-section, and a calculation for argon and the 'ideal' detector); The energy-loss distribution-(Calculation of the energy-loss distribution, the ionization distribution, and comparison with data); Multiple sampling detectors-(Statistical analysis of signals, the choice of detector parameters, practical considerations, and existing detectors).
