dE/dx in CLEO

• Bethe Block Equation ----- Depends only on β

• Defining the dE/dx variables

• Resolution

• The Corrections• Hit level

• Run level

• Track level

• Hadronic Separation

Particle ID using dE/dx

The Bethe Block Equation

dE/dx = (DZρ/A)1/β2[ ln(2meγ2β2c2/I) – β2 – δ/2]

Note:

• For low values of β: dE/dx ~ 1/β2

• For relativistic values of β: dE/dx ~ ln(γβ)2 ; “relativistic rise”

I = Average Ionization Energy

δ ~ lnγ2 for β ~ 1; “density effect” , saturates dE/dx
