Estudo do poder de frenamento de partículas alfa na matéria

Abstract: Seguindo a proposta de uma disciplina de mecânica quântica com enfoque em física experimental [P.R.S. Gomes e T.J.P. Penna, Revista Brasileira de Ensino de Física 10, 34 (1988)], neste artigo apresentamos um método simples para o estudo da perda de energia de partículas alfa em ar, geralmente apresentado, quando disponível, em laboratório avançados no final dos cursos de graduação em física e física médica, onde apresentamos um método novo e simples para a determinação do poder de frenamento de partículas alfa… Show more

“…The Bragg curve is given by −dE/dx [7, pp 31-33]. Since the voltage is proportional to the ionization produced by the alpha radiation [3][4][5], we have that dE/dx is proportional to dU/dx. The Bragg curve may be obtained by numerical differentiation of the fitted curve.…”

“…In general, in order to carry out a didactic experimental practice that reproduces the Bragg curve, it is necessary to use high-cost professional equipment [3], making it unfeasible in many educational institutions. Motivated by the importance of the Bragg curve, we propose in this work the construction of a low-cost ionization chamber detector inspired by Wenzel [4] and Bastos [5] that, with a low-intensity radioactive source, makes it possible to carry out an experiment to obtain the characteristic Bragg curve.…”
