59 Bethe-Bloch Formula (Relativistic) charged particles other than electrons lose energy in matter primarily by ionization and atomic excitation. The mean rate of energy loss (or stopping power) is given by the Bethe-Bloch equation: de dx Z z 2m e v Tmax N r m c 2 2 a e e ln A I 2N a r m c [ MeVcm e e g ] C Z mean excitation potential I (10eV ) Z T max head-on or knock-on collisions T max 1+ 2 m M e 2m c e m ( M e ) 2 Hans Bethe Felix Bloch Detector 59

60 Mean excitation energies ICRU - International Commission on Radiation Units and Measurements Detector 60

61 Energetic knock-on electrons ( - rays): The distribution of secondary electrons with kinetic energies T >> I is given by: For example: 2 d N dtdx 1 2 for I<<T T max Kz 2 Z A 1 2 F( T) 2 T for a 500 MeV pion on a silicon detector with thickness x = 0.3mm, on average one -ray (with 12 kev) is produced per particle crossing integrating above Eq. from Tcut(=12 kev) totmax on average ray (with 116 kev) are produced per particle integrating Tcut (=116 kev) to Tmax (116 kev is the mean energy loss in 0.3mm silicon for MIPs) Detector 61

62 Mean energy loss rate Z/A=1 Z/A~0.5 kinematical term 1/β 2 MIPs ~3-4 relativistic rise ln(β 2 2 ) Detector 62

63 Energy loss of muons Fermi-plateau Detector 63

64 Summary Bethe-Bloch BB valid for heavy particles ( m>~m µ ) mean energy loss de/dx normally given in MeVcm 2 /g de/dx independent of the mass of the projectile Energy transfer within I < de < T max (I...mean excitation energy ~ 10 Z ev) Detector 64

65 Mean range - range straggling The range can be determine by passing a beam of particle with the desired energy through different thicknesses of the material in question and measure the ratio of transmitted to incident particles. Detector 65

66 Bragg curve and mean range The energy loss of a charged particle passing an absorber is rising, most of the energy is deposited at the end (important for radiotherapy) intensity as function of x Energy loss per length unit Bragg peak Integration of the Bethe-Bloch formula gives the mean range <R>: R 0 E dx de de Detector 66

67 Range of charged particles in matter R...mean range M...mass of projectile Detector 67

68 Interaction of charged particles Real detectors (limited granularity) can not measure <de/dx>! In a detector the deposited energy ΔE in a layer of finite thickness x is measured. For thin layers or low density materials: Few collisions, some with high energy transfer Energy loss distributions show large fluctuations towards high losses: Landau tails For thick layers and high density materials: Many collisions Central Limit Theorem, Gaussian shaped distributions Detector 68

69 Energy loss of electrons and positrons Like heavy particles electrons and positrons also suffer collisional energy loss when passing through matter. But also, because of their small mass, an additional energy loss mechanism comes into play: the emission of electromagnetic radiation arising from scattering in the electric field of the nucleus (bremsstrahlung). de dx tot de dx rad + de dx coll Classically: bremsstrahlung can be explained as deviation of the electron from its straight-line caused by the electric attraction of the nucleus field. Detector 69

70 Collision loss For electrons the Bethe-Bloch formula has to be modified: the assumption that the incident particle remains un-deflected during the collision process is not valid (due to the small e mass) for electrons the collisions appear between identical particles, therefore their indistinguishability has to take into account de dx Z 1 ( + 2) N are mec ln + F( ) A 2( I / mec ) 2 2 C Z with the kinetic energy of the incident electron/positron in units m e c 2 F( ) 1 ß / 8 (2r + 1)ln 2 2 ( + 1) for electrons ß F( ) 2ln ( ( + 2) + 10 ( + 2) ( + 2) 3 ) for positons Detector 70

71 Energy loss by radiation - Bremsstrahlung At energies below a few hundred GeV electrons and positrons are the only particles for which radiation contributes substantially to the energy loss of the particle. e.g. for muons (m = 106 MeV) the radiation loss is ~ times smaller than for electrons 71

72 Energy loss of electrons in copper Detector 72

73 Radiation length Is defined as the distance over which the electron energy is reduced by a factor 1/e due to radiation loss: de E N rad dx E E 0 e x / X 0 x...travelled distance X 0..radiation length Detector 73

74 Interaction of photons The behaviour of photons in matter is quite different from that of charged particles, as photons have no electric charge there are no inelastic collisions with atomic electrons. The main interactions of X-rays and -rays in matter are: photoelectric effect Compton scattering pair production 74

75 Photoelectric effect The photoelectric effect involves the absorption of a photon by an atomic electron and the subsequent ejection of the electron from the atom. The energy of the outgoing electron is : Photoelectric cross section for lead E = h - B.E. Detector 75

76 Compton scattering Klein-Nishina formula used to calculate Compton scattering cross section scattering on a quasi-free e - Energy distribution of Compton recoil electrons Compton edge Detector W.R. Leo, Techniques for Nuclear and 76 Particle Physics Experiments

77 Pair production The process of pair production involves the transformation of a photon into an electron-positron pair. In order to conserve momentum, this can occur only in the presence of a third body (e.g. nucleus). pair production cross section in lead for : E m c 2 e E pair,nucl 2m c 1 1 / 3 Z E 4 re Z ln 2 9 mec e for : E / 3 mec Z pair,nucl 4 re Z ln 1 / 3 9 Z 1 54 W.R.
