Charged Particle Interactions - Detection
Interaction of heavy charged particles
• Electronic or nuclear (Rutherford, nuclear reactions, …).
• Depletion layer.• Delta rays and secondary electrons.• Electron suppression for charge integration.• Faraday Cup.• Tracks.
Detectors mainly designed to make use of electronic interactions.

Mean and extrapolated range.
• 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 position sensitive detectors.sensitive detectors.• Radioactive ion beams.Radioactive ion beams.
