Bethe-Bloch formula (Energy loss of charged particles) • dE/dx is assumed constant in the calculation. • In actual case, it’ll be one source of nonlinearity • Different particle has different dE/dx. In particle shower it’ll combination of them.
Total Energy Loss Calculation iron scint particle
Energy loss in each layer Pb Fe particle ID ECAL HCAL n: layer number (n=0,...,4)
