Particle identification

Abstract: Particle IDentification (PID) is fundamental to particle physics experiments. This paper reviews PID strategies and methods used by the large LHC experiments, which provide outstanding examples of the state-of-the-art. The first part focuses on the general design of these experiments with respect to PID and the technologies used. Three PID techniques are discussed in more detail: ionization measurements, time-of-flight measurements and Cherenkov imaging. Four examples of the implementation of these techniques … Show more

“… 194 Thus, particle identification can be achieved by measuring their velocity and momentum according to Cherenkov radiation. 195 SAs were used as radiators by virtue of their low refractive index and high transparency. At present, they have been applied in threshold Cherenkov counters and RICH counters.…”

“…However, K ± and π ± could be well-separated in the tracking system of the future Z factories. 4 For | p| 2 GeV, the separation [31] between π ± and K ± can be more than 4σ in terms of the number of primary ionization clusters formed in the drift chamber [15,21]. Below this threshold, K ± moves much slower than π ± , because of its bigger mass.…”
