Principles of Spectrometry Range of charged particles Compare to gamma … !!! Range straggling? • An “old” idea to measure energy..! • Surface barrier, PIPS. • For a detector to register the full energy of charged particles, its thickness should be more than the range at that energy. • Sometimes we look for partial energy. • E-E detection. • Energy and position sensitive detectors. • Radioactive ion beams. Counts number Mean and extrapolated range. Accelerator Physics, JU, First Semester, 2010-2011 (Saed Dababneh).
