Transition Radiation Spectra of Electrons from 1 to 10 GeV/c in Regular and Irregular Radiators
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present measurements of the spectral distribution of transition radiation generated by electrons of momentum 1 to 10 GeV/c in different radiator types. We investigate periodic foil radiators and irregular foam and fiber materials. The transition radiation photons are detected by prototypes of the drift chambers to be used in the Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) of the ALICE experiment at CERN, which are filled with a Xe, CO2 (15 %) mixture. The measurements are compared to simulations in order to enhance the quantitative understanding of transition radiation production, in particular the momentum dependence of the transition radiation yield.

متن کاملTransition Radiation Spectroscopy with Prototypes of the ALICE TRD
Measurements of TR yield and spectra for a large variety of regular radiator configurations have been presented by different authors. In general, data confirm the theoretical predictions [1], although total TR yield and dependence on the momentum of the emitting particle are not always reproduced [2][3]. The ALICE Transition Radiation Detector (TRD) consists of 540 drift chambers with mixed fib...
متن کاملElectron identification performance withALICETRDprototypes
We present the electron/pion identification performance measured with prototypes for ALICE TRD. Measured spectra of energy deposit of pions and electrons as well as their average values are presented and compared to calculations. Various radiators are investigated over the momentum range of 1 to 6 GeV/c. The time signature of TR is exploited in a bidimensional likelihood mothod.

Recent studies suggest that relative biological damage (RBD) may change from in to out of field regions for 6 MV photon beams. In this study RBD was calculated in and out of field of 30x30 cm2 and 40x40 cm2 6 MV clinical photon beams including low energy slowing down electrons in track length estimated method. Varian 2100C/D linear accelerator was simulated using MCNPX code. Electron and photon...

Introduction: Today, radiotherapy combined with surgery in the treatment of parotid tumors widely are used specially for high grade parotid tumors. One of concern and challenge issue of radiotherapy is that the treatment of these tumors with irregular surface due to the presence of external ear and region of different physical electron density (air cavities, dense bone, soft t...
