The figure usually has a caption that goes like this: "Fractional energy loss per radiation length as a function of electron or positron energy in lead," but I do not fathom is at (1/E)dE/dx =1, it seems like the particle is losing all of its energy at ~7MeV by ionisation. Therefore, I would not...
Hello there! Recently, I was awarded a governmental scholarship to study for a PhD at the University of Cambridge. I am interested in particle detectors (development or characterisation) and am okay with analysis work. Is anyone here studying or has studied at the University of Cambridge and...
Hello there! I am an MSc student with a focus on particle physics instrumentation. I am still thinking of whether I should pursue a PhD in particle physics or other research topics (materials/semicon related) or moving out of the academia. I am here to seek for advice and hope that I will...
