3 Scintillation and photo detection Energy deposition by ionizing particles production of scintillation light (luminescence) Scintillators are multi purpose detectors trigger counters veto counters time of flight measurement tracking detectors calorimetry others! Inorganic and organic scintillators Inorganic: high light output, but slow Organic: fast, but lower light output TRIUMF Summer Institute 2006, Particle Detectors Michel Lefebvre, Victoria II/3
4 Organic scintillators Plastic scintillators are the most widely used Ionization by charged particles generate optical photons (blue green) densities: between 1.03 and 1.20 g cm -3 typical yield:1 photon per 100 ev of deposited energy MIP in 1cm thick material yields photons Response not linear with ionization density Birks factor dl = L Decay times a few ns dx 1+ kb de dx de dx rise times much faster (allows sub-ns timing) light decay can depend on exciting particle, allowing ID Production to desired shape, low cost also scintillating fibres TRIUMF Summer Institute 2006, Particle Detectors Michel Lefebvre, Victoria II/4
5 Organic scintillators Scintillation mechanism scintillation, followed by resonant dipole-dipole interaction with fluor; strong coupling increases fluor shifts wavelength to where the base is more transparent; shortens the decay time of scintillation and increases yield Particle Data Group Cautions: aging and handling, radiation damage,... they have low Z, being mainly made of H and C low γ detection efficiency ( only Compton effect). but high neutron detection efficiency via (n,p) reactions TRIUMF Summer Institute 2006, Particle Detectors Michel Lefebvre, Victoria II/5

28 Electromagnetic showers Simple model multiplication electron shower in a cloud chamber with lead absorbers (Joram) Only consider bremsstrahlung (e ± ) and pair production (γ) assume E γ large. Multiplication stops when average shower particle energy = critical energy. At this stage the e ± will mainly lose energy through ionization and the multiplication will stop. This happens before the photons have less than 2m e c 2 energy. TRIUMF Summer Institute 2006, Particle Detectors Michel Lefebvre, Victoria II/28
29 Electromagnetic showers Let k be the number of steps needed for the multiplication to stop. E = E C The corresponding maximum number of particles in the shower is then k n= 0 2 k n k+ 1 k 2 = = 2 Each step takes place over a characteristic length: X o for e ± and 9X o /7 for γ. Assume X o for both. Then k In practice, ionization energy losses and fluctuations lowers somewhat this number TRIUMF Summer Institute 2006, Particle Detectors Michel Lefebvre, Victoria II/29 E E = 1 ln E = 1.44ln E ln 2 EC EC ln E 1.1 X max EC k = X = ln E 0.3 EC C for electrons for photons This is the number of X o needed to stop shower multiplication. This corresponds to shower max. Grows like lne. Kleinknecht
30 Electromagnetic showers Simple model attenuation Complicated mixture of ionization losses, radiation losses and Compton scattering. But the electromagnetic shower attenuation seems to follow the minimum attenuation for photons. The corresponding photon mean free path is λ = γ N A A ρσ The attenuation follows exponentially with a mean free path of λ γ. So to attenuate down to 95%, one needs 3λ γ. Therefore to contain 95% of a shower energy we need an absorber thickness of k X ρ + 3λ TRIUMF Summer Institute 2006, Particle Detectors Michel Lefebvre, Victoria II/30 min γ This is actually close to experimental results! For 100 GeV electrons on lead this gives 20X o = 11cm γ
