    Abstract:

    In this project we studied the distribution function of grey particles from

    hadron-nucleus interactions at high energies (> 1 GeV) according to a

    Geometric model by Andersson, Otterlund and Stenlund . We calculated

    the average number of hadron nucleon collisions inside the target nucleus

    interactions using the distribution function of the number of hadron-

    nucleon collisions according to Glauber theory.

    The results are then compared with the experimental data obtained from

    proton-Emulsion interactions at high energies (200, 400 and 800 GeV).

    Good agreement was obtained with the data, which indicates that the

    model is energy independent. It seems also that the production of grey

    particles at high energies in hadron-nucleus interactions is insensitive to

    the incident energy within the energy used (200-800 GeV).Also the

    production of these particles seems to depend strongly on the target size.

    1 Introduction1.1 High energy nuclear detectors1.1.1 Gas filled detectors[1, 2]

    Radiation passing through a gas can ionize the gas molecules,

    provided the energy delivered by it is higher than the ionization potential

    of the gas. The charge pairs thus produced can be made to move in

    opposite directions by the application of an external electric field. The

    result is an electric pulse that can be measured by an associated

    measuring device. A typical gas filled detector would consist of a gas

    enclosure and positive and negative electrodes. The electrodes are raised

    to a high potential difference that can range from less than 100 volts to a

    few thousand volts depending on the design and mode of operation of the

    detector. The creation and movement of charge pairs due to passage of

    radiation in the gas perturbs the externally applied electric field producinga pulse at the electrodes. The resulting charge, current, or voltage at one

    of the electrodes can then be measured, which together with proper

    calibration gives information about the energy of the particle beam and/or

    its intensity.

    It is apparent that such a system would work efficiently if a large

    number of charge pairs are not only created but are also readily collected

    at the electrodes before they recombine to form neutral molecules. The

    choice of gas, the geometry of the detector, and the applied potential give

    us controlling power over the production of charge pairs and their

    kinematic behavior in the gas.

    Examples for filled gas detectors: bubble chambers, cloud chambers,

    streamer chambers, spark chambers and proportional tube.

    1.1.2 liquid filled detectors[1, 2]There is no reason why a liquid cannot be used as an ionizing medium

    for detection of radiation. When radiation passes through a liquid, itproduces charge pairs, which can be directed towards electrodes for

    generation of a pulse. If the liquid assures good proportionality between

    the energy deposited and the number of charge pairs generated, the height

    of the pulse would give a good measure of the energy deposited. As it

    turns out, there are a number of liquids that have fairly good

    proportionality and therefore can be used as detection media. Now, one

    would expect the charge recombination probability in a liquid to be much

    higher than that in a typical gas. This is certainly true but we should also

    remember that the higher density ensures production of larger number of

    charge pairs as well. We will discuss these two competing factors later in

    the chapter, but the point to consider is that, in principle, liquids can be

    used as ionizing media to detect and measure radiation. Apart from a

    section on bubble chambers, in this chapter we will concentrate on

    different types of electronic detectors that use liquids as detection media.

    The bubble chambers, as we will see later, do not work like conventional

    electronic detectors in which the voltage or current is measured at the

    readout electrode. Instead, the particles passing through them produce

    bubbles that are photographed and hen visually inspected. There is also a

    class of detectors, called liquid scintillation detectors, in which the liquids

    produce light when their molecules are excited by incident radiation.

    Such devices will be discussed in the chapter on scintillation detectors.

    Examples for liquid filled detectors: liquid ionization chambers and

    liquid proportional counters.

    1.1.3 Semiconductor detectors[3]In these detectors, radiation is measured by means of the number of

    charge carriers set free in the detector, which is arranged between twoelectrodes. Ionizing radiation produces free electrons and holes. The

    number of electron-hole pairs is proportional to theenergy transmitted by

    the radiation to the semiconductor. As a result, a number of electrons are

    transferred from the valence band to the conduction band,and an equal

    number of holes are created in the valence band. Under the influence of

    anelectric field,electrons and holes travel to the electrodes, where they

    result in a pulse that can be measured in an outercircuit,as described by

    theShockley-Ramo Theorem.The holes travel in the opposite direction

    and can also be measured. As the amount of energy required to create an

    electron-hole pair is known, and is independent of the energy of the

    incident radiation, measuring the number of electron-hole pairs allows the

    energy of the incident radiation to be found.

    The energy required for production of electron-hole-pairs is very low

    compared to the energy required for production of paired ions in a gas

    detector. Consequently, in semiconductor detectors the statistical

    variation of the pulse height is smaller and the energy resolution is

    higher. As the electrons travel fast, the time resolution is also very good,

    and is dependent upon rise time. Compared with gaseous ionizationdetectors, the density of a semiconductor detector is very high, and

    charged particles of high energy can give off their energy in a

    semiconductor of relatively small dimensions.

    Examples for semiconductor detectors: PIN diode, diamond detectors,

    and Thermo luminescent Detectors.

    1.1.4 Calorimeters[1, 4]Methods of particle energy measurement in modern high energy

    physics have to cover a large dynamical range of more than 20 orders ofmagnitude in energy. Detection of extremely small energies (milli-

    electron-volts) is of great importance in astrophysics if one searches for

    the remnants of the Big Bang. At the other end of the spectrum, one

    measures cosmic ray particles with energies of up to 1020 eV, which are

    presumably of extragalactic origin. Calorimetric methods imply total

    absorption of the particle energy in a bulk of material followed by the

    measurement of the deposited energy. Let us take as an example a 10

    GeV muon. Passing through material this particle loses its energy mainly

    by the ionization of atoms while other contributions are negligible. To

    absorb all the energy of the muon one needs about 9m of iron or about

    8m of lead. It is quite a big bulk of material! On the other hand, high-

    energy photons, electrons and hadrons can interact with media producing

    secondary particles which lead to a shower development. Then the

    particle energy is deposited in the material much more efficiently. Thus

    calorimeters are most widely used in high energy physics to detect the

    electromagnetic and hadronic showers. At very high energies (1TeV),

    however, also muon calorimetry becomes possible because TeV muons in

    iron and lead undergo mainly interaction processes where the energy loss

    is proportional to the muon energy, thus allowing muon calorimetry. This

    technique will become relevant for very high-energy colliders ( 1TeV

    muon energy).

    Examples for calorimeters: Electromagnetic calorimeters and Hadron

    calorimeters.

    1.1.5 Drift Tubes[4]The drift tube (DT) system measures positions of particles that have

    high velocity such as muons. Each wide tube contains a stretched wire

    within a gas volume. When a muon or any charged particle passes

    through the volume it knocks electrons off the atoms of the gas. These

    follow the electric field ending up at the positively-charged wire. By

    registering where along the wire electrons hit (in the diagram, the wires

    are going into the page) as well as by calculating the muon's original

    distance away from the wire (shown here as horizontal distance and

    calculated by multiplying the speed of an electron in the tube by the time

    taken) DTs give two coordinates for the muons position.

    1.1.6 Cathode Strip Chambers [4]Cathode strip chambers (CSC) are used in experiments that in which

    the magnetic field is uneven and particle rates are high.

    CSCs consist of arrays of positively-charged anode wires crossed with

    negatively-charged copper cathode strips within a gas volume. When

    muons pass through, they knock electrons off the gas atoms, which flock

    to the anode wires creating an avalanche of electrons. Positive ions move

    away from the wire and towards the copper cathode, also inducing a

    charge pulse in the strips, at right angles to the wire direction. Because

    the strips and the wires are perpendicular, we get two position coordinates

    for each passing particle.

    1.1.7 Resistive Plate Chambers [4]The Resistive Plate Chambers (RPC's) consist of two parallel plates

    made out of Bakelite with a bulk resistivity of 109- 10

    10cm, separated

    by a gas gap of 2mm. The whole structure is made of gas tight. The outer

    surfaces of resistive material are coated with conductive graphite paint to

    form the high voltage and ground electrodes. The readout is performed by

    means of aluminum strips separated from the graphite coating by an

    insulating Polyethylene (PET) film. Resistive Plate Chambers (RPCs) are

    very important detectors, because of excellent time resolution which is

    crucial at Large Hadrons Collider (LHC) due to the beam crossing time of

    25ns.When a muon passes through the chamber, electrons are knocked

    out of gas atoms. These electrons in turn hit other atoms causing an

    avalanche of electrons. The electrodes are transparent to the signal (the

    electrons), which are instead picked up by external metallic strips after a

    small but precise time delay.

    1.2 Nuclear Emulsion[5]Nuclear emulsion is a 3-D tracking detector for charged particles

    having a special resolution of less than 1 m. it is a photographic platewhere it is used to detect the tracks of charged particles. A photographic

    emulsion is consists of a large number of small crystals of silver halides,

    mostly bromide, where the silver halide has high sensitivity to light.

    Nuclear emulsion used as a target and as a detector, where the

    emulsion is a heterogeneous target because it contains different nuclei

    with different mass numbers (H, C, N, O, Ag, Br).

    Nuclear emulsion has been largely used in high energy physics,

    leading to the discovery of new particles and to the measurements of their

    properties. The high sensitivity and grain uniformity of nuclear emulsions

    make them capable of observing tracks of single particles with sub

    micrometric space resolution and therefore they are especially suitable for

    the observation of short-lived particles

    1.2.1 Nuclear emulsion as a detector:-The photographic emulsion is used in recording the nuclear reactions

    in the 4-space. It consists of a large number of small crystals of silver

    halide (usually AgBr) which are transparent embedded in gelatin

    medium. When a charged particle pass through the emulsion , some of the

    halide grains are modified but their modifications are invisible, this effect

    is described as "the latent image formation", that is an invisible image

    produced by the exposure of the film to light. Then by immersing the

    nuclear emulsion plate in reducing bath which is called "developer", the

    latent images are turned into grains of metallic silver which is black. So,

    along the charged particle path, we can see a trail of black grains of

  • 8/13/2019 Multiplicity Distribution of Grey Particles Emitted From Hadron-nucleus Interactions at High Energies

    11/35

    1

    metallic silver under a microscope. That means we can obtain a 3-

    dimension image of particle trajectory.

    Processing of the nuclear emulsion includes developing, fixing,

    washing and drying. Where after developing emulsion plate placed in a

    bath called "fixer" which dissolves the unaffected grains of silver, finally,

    the plate is washed and dried.

    The interaction with emulsion is shaped as a Star because the particles

    can be emitted in all directions and the star will be as in figure [1-4].

    Figure [1-4] the shape of star (interaction with emulsion plate).

    1.2.2 Advantages of nuclear emulsion:-1. It can be used as a target and as a detector of 4-space

    geometry.

  • 8/13/2019 Multiplicity Distribution of Grey Particles Emitted From Hadron-nucleus Interactions at High Energies

    12/35

    2. It provides us with the possibilities of measuring energies andangles, where it detects and conserves the nuclear events for a

    long time (i.e. it Acts as a memory for reaction).

    3. Used in studying the characteristics of new elementary particlesand detection of unstable and neutral particles decay.

    4. It allows us to study the projectile interactions with differenttargets, where the projectile can interact with free and quasi-free

    nuclei (H), light nuclei (C, N and O) and heavy nuclei (Ag and

    Br).

    5. It is sensitive to study slow-energy particles which giveappreciable information about the thermal excitation of the

    target nucleus.

    6. Emulsion medium has high stopping power so, a large fractionof short-lived particles are brought to rest in it before decay and

    hence their ranges and half-life time can be measured

    accurately.

    The emulsion is a suitable tool for studying the interactions at high and

    ultra-high energies. Our project will concern mainly with this detector

    which is available at Dr. M. El-Nadi labat Cairo University.

    1.2.3 Specific ionization:-When the charged particle goes through the photographic emulsion, it

    will slow down by losing its kinetic energy due to inelastic collisions with

    the emulsion atoms.

    It loses its energy by the ionization, elastic and inelastic scattering

    making a trail of silver grains along its path. If the grain density is I

    (number of the developed grains per unit path length of the track and

    depend on the velocity and charge of ionizing particle), it is necessary to

  • 8/13/2019 Multiplicity Distribution of Grey Particles Emitted From Hadron-nucleus Interactions at High Energies

    13/35

    2

    determine where is the minimum ionization in the plateau region atthe same depth at the emulsion.

    Specific ionization is the probability that at the passage of an ionizing

    particle through a grain of silver halide to produce a developed grain. The

    value of this probability depends on the energy dissipated in the grain so;

    it is a function of the specific energy loss of the particle.

    1.2.4 Classification of emitted particles:-By performing of the grain density measurements of the tracks of the

    primary beam at random depths and in different regions, the tracks of the

    emitted particles are classified according to into:-1- Shower tracks:These are tracks with low ionization (

    ) and corresponding to

    highly relativistic particles having . Most of them are pionswith energy > 60 Mev admixture with fast protons (E > 400 Mev),

    charged K-mesons, antiprotons and hyperons. The number of shower

    particles is denoted by, where its value gives a good estimation of thenumber of charged -mesons produced in the interaction.

    2- Gray tracks:These are tracks having a specific ionization in the range 1.4 3000. They are mostly recoiling protons with energies (30< E < 400 MeV) with small admixtures of deuterons, tritons and slow

    pions (E < 50 MeV). The number of gray particles is denoted by.

  • 8/13/2019 Multiplicity Distribution of Grey Particles Emitted From Hadron-nucleus Interactions at High Energies

    14/35

    3

    3- Black tracks:These are tracks having corresponding to and their

    ranges . The black tracks are due to slow charged targetfragments with energies E per nucleon (protons, deuterons,tritons, , and small fraction of heavier targets fragments. The

    black tracks with ranges less than 5 were left uncounted as they wereassumed to be due to recoil nuclei. The number of black particles is

    denoted by.Heavily ionizing particles:

    They are the summation of grey and black particles with . Thenumber of heavily ionized particles is denoted by.1.2.5 Interactions with light and heavy nuclei from emulsion:-

    The projectile nucleus will interact with the individual components of

    the emulsion according to a certain cross section. The interaction with

    emulsion is divided into three main groups:-

    1- Interaction with free nuclei (H).2- Interaction with light nuclei (CNO group).3- Interaction with heavy nuclei (AgBr group).

    Separating the interactions with (H), (CNO) and (AgBr) groups is quite

    difficult and the important parameter the helps in separating the

    interactions is the number of heavily ionized particles where:- Events with ( are classified as collisions with

    hydrogen.

    Events with

    are classified as collisions with light

    nuclei (CNO).

  • 8/13/2019 Multiplicity Distribution of Grey Particles Emitted From Hadron-nucleus Interactions at High Energies

    15/35

    4

    Events with are classified as collisions with heavy nuclei(AgBr).

    But in events with

    there is an admixture of (CNO) target events

    and peripheral collisions with (AgBr) target. We can justify the admixture

    by taking into account the following conditions:-

    1- (AgBr) events must fulfill the following criteria:-a) At least one track with range in emulsion must be

    found.

    b)No tracks with should be found.2- The residual events belong to the interactions with (CNO).1.2.6 Grey particles emitted from hadron nucleus interaction:-

    In emulsion experiment the slow particles emitted from hadron

    nucleus interaction are divided into two categories according to their

    energies. The fast part (protons with energies about 30-400 Mev) is

    denoted grey particles and the rest part is denoted by black particles. The

    term grey and black are originated from emulsion experiments where

    visual appearance of the produced tracks is used for the classification.

    The grey tracks are strongly correlated to the number of hadron-

    nucleon interactions inside the nucleus. Many models had investigatedthe correlation between and the number of grey particles

    [6-8]

    .One of

    them is the "Geometric Model" by Andersson,Otterlund and

    Stenlund[9,10]

    .

  • 8/13/2019 Multiplicity Distribution of Grey Particles Emitted From Hadron-nucleus Interactions at High Energies

    16/35

    5

    2 Geometric model [9,10]According to Andersson, Otterlund and Stenlund, grey particles

    production can be described in the following way: each collision insidethe nucleus gives an independent contribution to the grey particles and

    the distribution from each of these collisions is well described by ageometric distribution:

    () , where ,So that is the average contribution to the grey particles from

    each of the collisions inside the nucleus, A. for collisions the formulabecomes

    ()

    And if this formula is summed over we derive the total distribution for a given target, A, and a given incident hadron, h,()

    Since is independent of the impinging hadron, the distributions for a fixed

    will not depend on the hadron, so that the only

    differences is the distributions originate from summing over different-values in the last equation. When nuclear emulsion is used as a target, afinal step has to be added, namely to sum over the different target

    emulsion constituents, H, CNO and AgBr.

    And for Em. And for (CNO) group. And for (AgBr) group.3.2The average number of hadron nucleon collisions in hadron

    nucleus interactions:-

    One of the main problems arising when hadron nucleus interactions

    are studied is how to distinguish between interactions where only one or

    few nucleons from the target nucleus have participated in the reaction

    with the incident hadron and interactions where several nucleons have

    taken part. This problem is equivalent to the problem of separating the

    peripheral from the more central interactions, since interactions where

    several nucleons are hit by the projectile imply that the projectile has

    penetrated the nucleus at rather small impact parameters. It has been

    suggested that slow particle production could be used to measure thenumber of collisions,, inside the nucleus.

    Most models dealing with hadron nucleus interactions use the

    interpretation that the incoming hadron interacts primarily with a certain

    number of nucleons,, in its way through the nucleus.From Glauber theory

    [13, 14], one can obtain the following relation for

    collisions:

  • 8/13/2019 Multiplicity Distribution of Grey Particles Emitted From Hadron-nucleus Interactions at High Energies

    19/35

    Where T (b) is the thickness function and defined as:

    ; Where the effective hadron nucleon cross section and its value is istaken as,

    { Is the nuclear density normalized to the mass number A of the

    target nucleus andit is taken as follows:

    a) For light nuclei (A40):The nuclear density is given by Fermi distribution that given by

    9

    Where:

    is the normalization constant.Thus one can deduce the average number of collisions,as;

    Where is the inelastic hadron nucleus cross section and given by;

    [ ]We calculate the average number of collisions according to eq. (3-3) for

    the interactions of pions and protons with some target nuclei. The results

    are summarized in table (3-1).

    The table shows clearly that the average number of collisions increases

    sharply with increasing the target size A.

    Also, the

    distribution function is given by;

    3.3 The distribution of grey particles according to Geometric model:-

    In order to calculate the distribution of grey particles according to

    Geometric model [eq. (2-2)], we have to differentiate in our calculations

    between light nuclei (A40).

    a) For light nuclei (A

    b)For heavy nuclei (A>40);-In this case the density distribution is given by Fermi distribution Eq. (3-

    2).The normalization constantis determined numerically using:

    The thickness function is calculated as:

    Where;

    and Rm is taken as the maximum limiting value forthe target radius.

    The inelastic hA cross section is thus:

    [ ]

    [ ] Hence, the

    distribution function is;

    The Ng-distribution, eq. (2-2) in hadron-nucleus interaction is finally

    calculated.

    Figure (3-3) displays the Ng-distribution for p-AgBr interactions.

    The calculated multiplicities for p-AgBr and p-CNO interactions have

    to be summed together to get the corresponding multiplicities for p-Em

    4.1ConclusionIn this project the production of grey particles are studied theoretically

    using the geometric model and the calculations are compared with

    proton-Em data at incident energies 200, 400 and 800 GeV. The

    conclusions are summarized as follow:

    1) The independent number of collisions inside the target nucleusdepends mainly on the target size-A.

    2) The production of grey particles seems to be independent of theincident energy within the energy range studied values.

    3) The increases with increasing the target size-A.
