  1. Calorimeter (particle physics)

    In particle physics , a calorimeter is an experimental apparatus that measures the energy of subatomic particle particles . Most particles enter the calorimeter and initiate a particle shower and the particles energy is deposited in the calorimeter, collected, and measured. The energy may be measured in its entirety, requiring total containment of the particle shower, or it may be sampled. Typically, calorimeters are segmented transversely to provide information about the direction of the particle or particles, as well as the energy deposited, and longitudinal segmentation can provide information about the identity of the particle based on the shape of the shower as it develops. Calorimetry design is an active area of research in particle physics. Types of calorimeter Electromagnetic versus hadronic An electromagnetic calorimeter is one specifically designed to measure the energy of particles that interact primarily via the electromagnetism electromagnetic interaction , while a hadronic calorimeter is one designed to measure particles that interact via the strong nuclear force . See particle shower Types of showers types of particle showers for the differences between the two. The response of a calorimeter can be described in terms of the e h ratio.

    Particle physics Phenomenology science phenomenology is the part of theoretical particle physics that deals with the application of theoretical physics theory to high energy particle physics experiments. Within the Standard Model , phenomenology is the calculating of detailed predictions for experiments, usually at high precision e.g., including renormalization radiative corrections . Beyond the Standard Model , phenomenology addresses the experimental consequences of new model building particle physics model s how their new particles could be searched for, how the model parameters could be measured, and how the model could be distinguished from other, competing models. Phenomenology may in some sense be regarded as forming a bridge between the rarefied, highly mathematical world of theoretical physics proper such as quantum field theory quantum field theories and theories of the structure of space time and experimental particle physics.

  1. Tracking (particle physics)

    Unreferenced date October 2006 Orphan date November 2009 In particle physics , the tracking is the act of measuring the Direction geometry, geography direction and magnitude of charged subatomic particle particles momentum momenta . The particles entering a tracker the device used for tracking , release part of their energy in the device the tracker has to be finely segmented in order to be able to reconstruct with good precision where the particle passed. Since the tracking is usually made in a region where a magnetic field is present, it is possible to reconstruct part of the helix made by the particle inside the tracker that is called track , and from the track parameters, and by knowing the mass of the particle under study which is known by the use of particle identification , it is possible to reconstruct the actual direction and magnitude of the particle momenta. From these information the tracking of charged particles can be used to reconstruct secondary Particle decay decays , this can be done for B tagging in experiments like Collider Detector at Fermilab CDF or at Large Hadron Collider LHC or to fully reconstruct events like in BaBar experiment BaBar and Belle experiment Belle . In particle physics there have been many devices used for tracking as bubble chamber s, wire chambers multi wire proportional chambers , time projection chamber s, and, with the advent of modern photolithography , the solid state trackers, also called silicon trackers.

  1. Particle physics in cosmology

    Particle physics , which deals with the interactions of elementary particles at high energies, is an important component of Physical cosmology cosmological models of the early universe , when the universe was dominated by radiation and its average energy density was very high. Because of this, pair production , scattering processes and Particle decay decay of unstable particles are important in cosmology. As a thumb rule, a scattering or a decay process is cosmologically important in a certain cosmological epoch if its relevant time scale is smaller or even to the time scale of the universe expansion, which is math 1 H math with math H math being the Hubble constant at that time. This is roughly equal to the age of the universe at that time.

  1. Trigger (particle physics)

    In particle physics , a trigger is a system that uses simple criteria to rapidly decide which event particle physics events in a particle detector to keep when only a small fraction of the total can be recorded. Trigger systems are necessary due to real world limitations in data storage capacity and rates. Since experiments are typically searching for interesting events such as decays of rare particles that occur at a relatively low rate, trigger systems are used to identify the events that should be recorded for later analysis. Current accelerators have event rates greater than 1  MHz and trigger rates that can be below 10 Hz. The ratio of the trigger rate to the event rate is referred to as the selectivity of the trigger. For example, the Large Hadron Collider LHC is anticipated to have an event rate of 1  GHz 10 sup 9 sup Hz , and the Higgs boson is expected to be produced there at a rate of at least 0.01 Hz. Therefore the minimum selectivity required is 10 sup 11 sup . ref Lindenstruth, V, and Kisel, I. Overview of trigger systems. Nucl. Instr. and Meth.

  1. Helicity (particle physics)

    About helicity in particle physics Helicity disambiguation In particle physics , helicity is the projection of the Spin physics spin math vec S math onto the direction of momentum, math hat p math math h vec S cdot hat p, qquad hat p vec p vec p math Because the eigenvalues of spin with respect to an axis have discrete values, the eigenvalues of helicity are also discrete. For a particle of spin S , the eigenvalues of helicity are S , nowrap S 1 , ..., S . The measured helicity of a spin S particle will range from S to S . Note that helicity can equivalently be written with the total angular momentum operator math vec J math , instead of math vec S math , because the projection of orbital angular momentum along the linear momentum vanishes math vec L cdot vec p 0 . math In 3 1 dimensions nowrap 3 1 dimensions , the little group for a massless particle is the Double covering group double cover of Euclidean group SE 2 . This has unitary representation s which are invariant under the SE 2 translations and transform as e sup i h sup under a SE 2 rotation by . This is the helicity h representation. There is also another unitary representation which transforms non trivially under the SE 2 translations. This is the continuous spin representation. In nowrap d 1 dimensions, the little group is the double cover of SE nowrap d 1 the case where nowrap d &le 2 is more complicated because of anyon s, etc. . As before, there are unitary representations which don t transform under the SE nowrap d 1 translations the standard representations and continuous spin representations.

  1. Desert (particle physics)

    In particle physics , the desert refers to a theorized gap in energy scales between the TeV scale and the GUT scale in which no new physics appears. The idea of the desert was motivated by the observation of approximate, order of magnitude, gauge coupling unification at the GUT scale . Adding additional new physics at an intermediate scale generically disrupts the gauge coupling unification. With the Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model particle content, adjustment of parameters can make this unification exact. This unification is not unique, since alternative scenarios like the Katoptron model can also lead to exact unification after a similar energetic desert. If neutrino mass es are due to a seesaw mechanism , the seesaw scale should lie within the desert. The attraction of a desert is that, in such a scenario, measurements of TeV scale physics at the near future colliders Large Hadron Collider LHC and International Linear Collider ILC will allow extrapolation all the way up to the GUT scale . An alternative to a desert is a series of new physical theories unfolding with every few orders of magnitude increase in energy scale.

  1. Model building (particle physics)

    Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 Expert subject Physics date November 2008 In particle physics , the term model building refers to a construction of new quantum field theory quantum field theories Beyond the Standard Model beyond the Standard Model that have certain features making them attractive theoretically or for possible observations in the near future. If the model building physicist uses the tools of string theory, he or she is called superstring model builder . A model builder typically chooses new quantum fields and their new interactions, attempting to make their combination realistic, testable and physically interesting. In particular, an interesting new model should address questions left unanswered in the Standard Model which has, including three massive neutrinos, 28 free parameters. A model which extends the Standard Model should predict one or more of these parameters or shed light on some other issue such as why there are three quark lepton families or, the most common motivation, the naturalness or hierarchy problem associated with the quadratic divergences appearing in the scalar sector. The work of model builders Model builders constitute a group between experimentalists and pure theorists model builders are theorists, but with an emphasis on using current tools to fit data, in addition to the more long term pursuit of a more complete theory of nature. Model builders are one step closer to pure theorists than Particle physics phenomenology phenomenologists are, although the distinction is often blurred in practice.
