28 6.0.1 Basics of electromagnetic calorimetery High energy photons and electrons interact two ways in high Z materials. Electrons can scatter from atomic electrons and ionize the material - we can detect this ionization but the electron energy does not change much. This is an incoherent process and scales as Z/atom or Z/A/gram of material. Both Electrons and photons can scatter off of the atomic nucleus. This a coherent scatter and scales as Z 2 /atom or Z 2 /A atom. The electron scatter is bremsstrahlung and the photon is pair-production of an e e + pair. The cross section for these interaction is approximately approximately independent of energy once the energy of the particles is m e c 2. The mean free path for both processes is 1 X 0 4αreZ 2 2 N A (21) A What happens when a high energy photon or electron hits some high Z material is illustrated in Figure After the first interaction 1 particle becomes 2, after the next, 2 particles become 4 etc. asymptotically there are slightly more electrons than photons. 27

29 Figure 19: A photon showers in material. One can expect a hard interaction (bremsstrahlung or pair production) every X 0. 28

30 The number of particles/layer grows as 2 i where i is the number of X 0 you have traversed and the energy/particle drops by a factor of 2 each layer. At some point the energy/particle (E 0 /2 i ) becomes close to m e c 2 and the hard scatters stop. The critical energy is called E c and is actually more like 10 MeV. You can use this to solve for the maximum number of radiation lengths N. 2 N = E 0 /E c (22) What we detect is the ionization caused by the particles, which is proportional to the total path length. L = N i=1 (2i f e X 0 )=f e X 0 (2 N 1) f e X 0 E 0 /E c (23) where f e is the electron fraction in the shower 5/8. So the ionization observed is proportional to the incident energy. This is a nice linear detector.

65 How does electron cooling work? The velocity of the electrons is made equal to the average velocity of the ions. The ions undergo Coulomb scattering in the electron gas and lose energy, which is transferred from the ions to the co-streaming electrons until some thermal equilibrium is attained.
