EXPERIMENTAL IDENTIFICATION OF INDIVIDUAL PARTICLES BY OBSERVATION OF TRANSITION RADIATION IN X-RAY REGION
- Abstract:
- Transition radiation in the X-ray region produced by 1.3 GeV/c and 3.0 GeV/c electrons has been detected using multi-wire proportional chambers (MWPC). The radiation was generated in eleven stacks of 100 mylar foils (thickness 1 2 mil. or 1 6 mil.) each preceding one of eleven MWPC placed in line; two inch thick slabs of styrofoam were also used. The incident particles, electrons or π--mesons, passed through the MWPC as well as the foils. Results are given on the numbers of transition radiation photons detected, the energy deposition in the chambers and the relativistic rise of ionisation loss in argon and krypton. The distribution in total pulse height obtained with krypton shows a good separation of π--mesons and electrons at 3 GeV/c. © 1973.
