Cross Section of a Detector
To give you an idea of the paths that particles
will take through a detector,
here is a cross-section view of a detector,
looking down the tube the colliding
beams come from. Note the different places where various particles will be
detected.
Physicists can figure out the type of particle based on where that particle
appeared in the detector.Test yourself and see if you can
figure out a particle
type by analyzing its path through a detector.
