Physicists had planned this machine in the 1960s, based on the idea that smashing two particle beams head on would give much higher energies than colliding a single beam of particles with a fixed target 6

16 Particles-Matter Interaction (EM) Electromagnetic (EM) processes: Main photon interactions with matter: Photoelectric effect Compton scattering Pair Production Main electron interactions with matter: Ionization Bremsstrahlung Čerenkov radiation Multiple Scattering 16
17 Photon Interactions Photons are either absorbed (photoelectric effect,pair production) or scattered at large angle (Compton effect) Photon beam attenuated in matter (Beer-Lambert s law): x / X I 1 X =I 0 e = I 0 e X = ρ x = mass thickness [g/cm2] x α = μ/ρ = mass absorption coefficient. = α-1 [g/cm2] = photon mass attenuation length = mean free path is a function of the photon energy 17
18 attenuation length Photon Interactions 18
19 Photon Interactions Total Cross-section for photon absorption is related to attenuation length Photoeletric effect = A/ N A 1/ TOT Pair production A = Atomic mass of the material [g mol] N A = (47) mol-1 = Avogrado' s number contributing processes: photoelectric ion. energy < E < 100 KeV compton E ~ 1 MeV pair production E >> 1 MeV Rayleigh scattering Compton 19
20 Photon Interactions Photoelectric effect e- Can be considered as an interaction between a photon and an atom as a whole X X+ If a photon has energy E > Eb (= binding energy of an electron) The photon energy is fully transferred to the electron Electron is ejected with energy T = E - Eb Discontinuities in the cross-section due to discrete energies Eb of atomic electrons (strong modulations at E =Eb; L-edges, K-edges, etc) Dominating process at low s energies ( < MeV ). Gives low energy electron 20
21 Photon Interactions Photoelectric effect Cross-section: =E /mc2 reduced photon energy For εk < ε < 1 ( εk is the K-absorption edge): ph= 32/ 7 1/2 4 Z 5 eth For ε >> 1 ( high energy photons): ph= 1/ 4 r 2e 4 Z 5 σph goes with Z5/ε 21
22 Photon Interactions Compton scattering A photon with energy Ein scatters off an (quasi-free) atomic electron εl Atomic electron atom Free electron εk e A fraction of Ein is transferred to the electron The resulting photon emerges with Eout < Ein The energy of the outgoing photon is: E out / E i =1/ 1 1 cos, where =E /mc2 22
23 Photon Interactions,in Coherent scattering (Rayleigh) /E Compton scattering,out E two extreme cases of energy loss: Incoherent scattering (electron is removed from atom) q ~ 0 : Eout ~ E,in ; Te ~0 No energy transferred to the electron Backscattered at q = π : E out =E i / 1 2 me c 2 / 2 for 1 Total cross-section per electron given by Klein-Nishina (QED) (1929) σ C =2 πr e e 2 { [ ] 1 ε 2 1 ε ε ln 1 2ε ln 1 2ε 2 1 2ε ε 2ε ε2 1 2ε } per atom e atomic =Z c c 23
24 Photon Interactions Pair Production e- An electron-positron pair can be created when (and only when) a photon passes by the Coulomb field of a nucleus or atomic electron this is needed for conservation of momentum. + e- e+ + e- + e- + nucleus e+ + e- + nucleus e+ Z Threshold energy for pair production E = 2mec2 near a nucleus E = 4mec2 near an electron (strongly suppressed) Pair production is the dominant photon interaction process at high energies, hundred MeV or more. 24
25 Photon Interactions Pair Production Asymptotic value of cross-section, energy independent, is: 2 σ r 4 αz pair e 2 [ ( )] A 1 ln 9 9 NA X0 Z X 0 = λ pair 9 X0 is called radiation length and corresponds to a layer thickness of material where pair creation has a probability P = 1 e-7/9 54% Along with Bremsstrahlung (more later), pair production is a very important process in the development of EM showers X0 is a key parameter in the design of a calorimeter 25
26 Photon Interactions SUMMARY PHOTONS photoelectric ion. energy < E < 100 KeV compton E ~ 1 MeV pair production E >> 1 MeV angular distribution of the photo- and Compton electrons is ~ isotropic, while highly directional for the pair production Photoeletric effect Pair production Rayleigh scattering Compton 26
27 Charged-particle Interactions Ionization-Excitation For heavy charged particles (M>>me: p, K, π, ), the average rate of energy loss (or stopping power) in an inelastic collision with an atomic electron is given by the Bethe-Bloch formula [ m c β γ de Z z δ 2 2 e 2 =4πN A r e me c ln β dx A β2 I 2 ][ ] MeV 2 g /cm δ : density-effect correction z : charge of the incident particle β = v/c of the incident particle I : ionization constant, characteristic of the absorber approx few % up to energies of several hundred GeV valid for particles with β > > a Z 27
28 Charged-particle Interactions 28
29 Charged-particle Interactions this formula takes into account the energy transfer I de T max Fermi plateau I = mean excitation potential I I0Z with I0= 10 ev relativistic rise kinematic term MIPs b
30 Electron Interactions Ionization For electron and positron the average rate of energy loss is approximated by [ 2 x m c de Z 1 δ 2 2 e 2 =4 πn A r e m e c l n 2 dx A β 2I 2 ][ ] MeV 2 g / cm Bethe-Bloch Small electron/positron mass ; Identical particles in the initial and final state ; Spin ½ particles in the initial and final states 30
31 Electron Interactions Ionization At high energy ( β 1 ), the energy loss for both heavy charged particles and electrons/positrons can be approximated by [ 2 2m e c de 2 ln A ln γ B dx I ] A B electrons heavy ch particles 4 2 B indicates that the rate of relativistic rise for electrons is slightly smaller than for heavy particles. This provides a criterion to distinguish charged particles of different masses. 31
32 Electron Interactions Bremsstrahlung (braking radiation) Fast charged particles radiate a real photon while being decelerated in the Coulomb field of a nucleus: for electrons and positrons this loss plays an important role 32
33 Electron Interactions Bremsstrahlung The rate of energy loss for E >> mec2/az1/3 is given by: It can be written as The radiation length X0 is the layer thickness that reduces the electron energy by a factor e (~63%). In literature, X0 defined for incident e-. 33
34 Electron Interactions Bremsstrahlung and Pair production The mean free path for photons (pair production) is very similar to X0, electrons radiation length pair production and Bremsstrahlung have very similar ee Feynman diagrams Pair production Bremsstrahlung -* e-* e+ eze eze Basis of Shower development electron-positron pair will each subsequently radiate a photon by Bremsstrahlung, which will produce a electron-positron pair and so on... 34
35 Electron Interactions Cerenkov radiation Fast moving particles traversing a medium ( refr. index n) with v > c/n emit real photons (medium atoms are polarized electric dipoles emit photons when they return to their normal state) fast Photons emitted are typically blue (in optical region- n > 1 and medium is transparent) small contribution: < 1% of ionization loss for Z > 7, 5% for light gas 35
36 Electron Interactions Cherencov radiation For example, typical of nuclear reactors. The high speed beta particles (electrons) emitted by fission products are responsible for this. Nuclear reactors are kept under water to stop the neutrons. 36
37 Electron Interactions Multiple Scattering Multiple elastic interactions between charged particle-medium Average scattering angle is roughly Gaussian for small deflection angles 0 = RMS plane 1 RMS 1 = space p 2 x X0 p = momentum of the electron X0 is the radiation length This contributes to the transverse size of an electromagnetic shower 37
38 Electron Interactions SUMMARY ELECTRONS ionization bremsstrahlung E < 10 MeV E > 10 MeV 38
39 Electron Interactions Another important quantity in calorimetry is the so called critical energy. It is the energy at which the loss due to radiation equals that due to ionization Alternate definition (Rossi): de dx E ion= X0 Approx formula using Rossi def. per solid and gas E c MeV Z

41 Lecture Overview Calorimeters vs Time Basics of calorimetry: Interactions of particles with matter (electromagnetic) Definition of radiation length and critical energy Development of electromagnetic showers Interactions of particle with matter (nuclear) Development of hadronic showers 41
42 Development of electromagnetic shower Two energy regimes: 1. High Energy ( >10 MeV): electrons lose energy mostly via Bremsstrahlung photons via pair production Photons from Bremsstrahlung can create an electron-positron pair which can radiate new photons via Bremsstrahlung (until E> Ec) 2. Low Energy electrons lose energy mostly thru collisions with atoms/molecules ( ionization and excitation) photons via Compton scattering and photoelectric effect Electrons E > 1 GeV give rise to a cascade ( shower ) of particles. Number of particles increases until the energy of the electron component falls below Ec 42
43 Development of electromagnetic shower main shower characteristics Simple Shower Model assumptions: λpair X0 Electrons and positrons behave identically Neglect energy loss by ionization or excitation for E > E c Each electron with E > Ec gives up half of its energy to bremsstrahlung photon after 1X0 Each photon with E > Ec undergoes pair creation after 1X0 with each created particle receiving half of the photon energy Shower development stops at E = Ec Electrons with E < Ec do not radiate; remaining energy lost by collisions 43
44 Development of electromagnetic shower Simple Shower Model After 1X0 : 1 e- and 1, each with E0/2 After 2X0 : 2 e-, 1 e+ and 1, each with E0/4 After tx0 : N t =2t E t =E 0 2 t [ X0 ] Maximum number of particles reached at E = Ec N max =E 0 / E c E0 Total Number of Particles ln E 0 / E c t max = ln 2 44
45 Development of electromagnetic shower Simple Shower Model Total number of charge particles (e+ and e- ~ 2/3 and ~ 1/3) Total charged track length (g/cm2) X0 E0/Ec Measured energy proportional to E0 95% of Shower contained in: t 95 t max 0.08 Z 9.6 X0 units For calorimeters thickness of 25X0, back leakage is below 1% for E~ 300 GeV 45
46 Development of electromagnetic shower Longitudinal profile Simulation of the energy deposit in copper as a function of the shower depth for incident electrons at 4 different energies showing the logarithmic dependence of tmax with E. EGS4* (electron-gamma shower simulation) 46
47 Development of electromagnetic shower The simple model can explain well the main characteristics. What is not taken into account by the simple model: Discontinuity at tmax : shower stops: no energy dependence of the cross-section Lateral spread: electrons undergo multiple Coulomb scattering Difference between showers induced by and electrons λpair = (9/7) X0 Fluctuations: Number of electrons/positrons produced not governed by Poisson statistics. 47
48 Development of electromagnetic shower Lateral Shower profile Lateral spread due to electron/positron undergoing multiple Coulomb scattering Electrons are increasingly affected by multiple scattering as they become slower. Measurement of transverse size, integrated over the full shower depth, is given by the Molière radius ρm About 90% of the shower is contained in a cylinder of radius =1 ρm 95% of the shower is contained laterally in a cylinder with radius 2ρM 48
49 Development of electromagnetic shower Shower profile longitudinal lateral ρm less dependent on Z than X0: 49
50 More on longitudinal shower profi le Shower profile Even though the shower profile scale with X0, the scaling is not perfect. Reason: particle multiplication continues up to lower energies (where Compton and photoelectron production become important) in high Z material and decreases more slowly longitudinal 50

60 Lecture Overview Calorimeters vs Time Basics of calorimetry: Interactions of particles with matter (electromagnetic) Definition of radiation length and critical energy Development of electromagnetic showers Interactions of particle with matter (nuclear) Development of hadronic showers 60
61 Hadron-Matter Interactions Complex process: hadron strikes a nucleus: interaction between partons (via strong force) excitation and breakup of the nucleus nucleus fragmentation/ hadronization/ production of secondary particles Charged hadrons: π±, K,p, Neutral hadrons: n, π0, Charged leptons: µ ±, Low energy γ etc σ =σ +σ tot abs el σabs = absorption cross-section (inelastic interaction) σel = elastic cross-section (hadron is preserved) 61
62 Hadron-Matter Interactions Two classes of effects: production of energetic secondary hadrons, with mean free path I (momenta ~ fair fraction of the primary hadron) significant part of the primary energy consumed in: excitation nuclear spallation ( slow n) For example, in lead (Pb): break-up (invisible) energy: 42% low energy particles (MeV)... Nuclear Ionization energy: 43% Slow neutrons (EK ~ 1 MeV): 12% Low energy λ s (Eγ ~ 1 MeV): 3% An energy dependent fraction of incoming E goes in breaking nuclei, in low energy neutrons or undetectable neutrinos invisible energy large energy fluctuations limited energy resolution 62
63 Hadron-Matter Interactions Neutrons interaction is based only on strong (and weak) nuclear force. To detect neutrons, we have to convert them in charged particles. Possible neutron conversion and elastic reactions n + 6Li a + 3H n + 10B a + 7Li n + 3He p + 3H n+p n+p per E< 20 MeV per E< 1 GeV In addition there are - neutron induced fission En Eth 1/40 ev - inelastic reactions -> hadronic cascades En > 1 GeV Slow neutrons can interact with H atoms in active material -recovered No hope to detect neutrinos in a typical Hadron Calorimeter! [s ~ cm2 ] 63
64 Development of hadronic showers Hadronic shower Process similar to EM shower: Secondary particles interact and produce tertiary particles (and so forth) Processes involved are much more complex: Many more particles produced hadrons production and particle emission from nuclear decay of excited nuclei Multiplicity ln E (E = energy of the primary hadron) The longitudinal development of the shower scales with the nuclear interaction length, λi : A I = N A TOT Secondary particles have large transverse momentum hadronic showers spread more laterally than EM showers. 64
65 Development of hadronic showers At energies > 1 GeV, cross-section depends little on energies and on the type of incident particle: a A 1 /3 For Z > 6 λi > X0 I X0, λi [cm] 10 X absorption length I a I A 100 1/ Material Z Hydrogen (gas) Helium (gas) Beryllium Carbon Nitrogen (gas) Oxygen (gas) Aluminium Silicon Iron Copper Tungsten Lead Uranium A [g/cm3 ] X0 [g/cm2 ] (g/l) (g/l) (g/l) (g/l) I [g/cm2 ] Z 65
66 Development of hadronic showers Shower profile Initially the shower is narrow, and spreads laterally with the shower depth Shower maximum depends logarithmically on energy E of the primary hadron: t max I 0.2 ln E [ GeV ] 0.7 t 95 [ cm ] a ln E b Ex.: 100 GeV in iron ( λi =16.7 cm) a = 9.4 cm, b = 39 cm tmax = 1.6 λi = 27 cm t95% = 4.9 λi = 80 cm Laterally, 95% of the shower contained in a cylinder of radius λi. 66
67 Development of hadronic showers Longitudinal profile Hadronic shower has a long longitudinal development. For 200 GeV, need > 10 λi to Hadronic showers much longer than EM shower contain 99% of the energy The maximum at low depth values is due to the EM component in the shower that develops more readily due to the X0 dependence on Z compared to λi: 67
68 Development of hadronic showers Energy measurement Shower develops until a Emin Energy deposition by ionization (π0 γγ and charged hadrons) and low-energy hadronic activity (fission, neutron elastic scattering off proton, etc) Two components: EM component Hadronic component Electromagnetic component, due to π0 1/3 Hadronic 2/3 Detection efficiency in energy deposition of EM and hadronic components typically different! response to em and hadronic particles: e/h range ~
69 Development of hadronic showers Shower time evolution Contrary to electromagnetic showers, which develop in sub-nanosecond time, the physics of hadronic showers is characterized by different time scales, the slowest of which (de-excitation of heavy nuclei) may reach a microsecond. 69
