“…Simulations allowed the development of a specific identification method for AGILE by applying Pulse Shape Discrimination on the signal output of each layer. Particles deposit different amounts of energy along their path in silicon following the Bethe-Bloch curve [22], usually described by the energy loss E per unit path length x, dE dx (x). This creates difference in the shape of the output signal.…”

An AGILE (Advanced enerGetic Ion eLectron tElescope) instrument is being developed at the University of Kansas and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center to be launched on board a CubeSat in 2022. The AGILE instrument aims to identify a large variety of ions (H-Fe) in a wide energy range (1–100 MeV/nucl) in real-time using fast silicon detectors and fast read-out electronics. This can be achieved by the first use of real-time Pulse Shape Discrimination in space instrumentation. This method of discrimination relies on specific amplitude and time characteristics of the signals sampled every 100 ps and produced by ions that stop in the detector medium. AGILE will be able to observe, in situ, the fluxes of a large variety of particles in a wide energy range to advance our knowledge of the fundamental processes in the universe. This work presents the current stage of development of the instrument, the discrimination method used through the performed simulations, and the first results from lab tests using an Am-241 source.

“…The (anti) 3 He identification is based on the energy loss per unit of track length measured by the TPC [1,2,4,7,9,13,14,16,17]. The (anti) 3 He candidates are selected by requiring that their measured dE/dx is within 3σ 3 He dE/dx from the expected average value, calculated using the Bethe-Bloch parametrization [80], where σ 3 He dE/dx is the dE/dx resolution for (anti) 3 He. The contamination from other particle species is found to be negligible over the full transverse-momentum range covered by this measurement, which is 1 < p T < 7 GeV/c.…”

The production fractions of charged and neutral b-hadrons in b-quark events from Z 0 decays have been measured with the DELPHI detector at LEP. An algorithm has been developed, based on a neural network, to estimate the charge of the weakly-decaying b-hadron by distinguishing its decay products from particles produced at the primary vertex. From the data taken in the years 1994 and 1995, the fraction of b-quarks fragmenting into positively charged weakly-decaying b-hadrons has been measured to be:42.09 ± 0.82(stat.) ± 0.89(syst.))%. Subtracting the rates for charged Ξ + b and Ω + b baryons gives the production fraction of B + mesons:f Bu = (40.99 ± 0.82(stat.) ± 1.11(syst.))%.
