Multiple Coulomb Scattering

Particles are sensed through their interactions with matter. To begin with, the chapter introduces the terms cross section and absorption. Then successively the most important interactions that are employed for the detection of the various particle types are discussed: energy loss of charged particles by ionisation and bremsstrahlung, multiple Coulomb scattering of charged particles, interactions of photons and hadrons with matter. The interactions leading to the development of electromagnetic and hadronic showers are treated in more detail in chapter 15 (Calorimeters), while energy loss by Cherenkov and transition radiation are discussed in chapters 11 and 12, respectively. When describing the interaction processes an attempt is made to address the theoretical background in a way that the derivations ought to be comprehensible.

AbstractThe chapter shows how the equations of motion for charged particles in a homogeneous or inhomogeneous magnetic field are solved. Various types of parametrizations are presented, and formulas for track propagation and error propagation are derived. As the effects of the detector material on the trajectory have to be taken into account, the statistical properties of multiple Coulomb scattering, energy loss by ionization, and energy loss by bremsstrahlung are discussed; then it is shown how the effects can be treated in the track reconstruction. As multiple scattering in thin layers and energy loss by bremsstrahlung have distinctive non-Gaussian features, an approximation by normal mixtures is presented.

Multiple Coulomb Scattering

An analytical solution of the angular problem to the approximation of middle angles which is valid for any angles of particle deviation in an elementary event of Coulomb scattering has been obtained using the approximate operator (Vaskin et al. 1966). The proposed method makes it possible to evaluate the accuracy of the resulting expressions and the contribution from non-multiple and multiple Coulomb scattering.
