CLEOWhy use higher and higher energies?
= h/p
The more energetic the probe, the finer the accessible detail

CLEOCLEO Calorimeter
• Measure particle energy (plus position and flight path angle)
• Good for charged and neutral particles
• Particles deposit energy in dense, transparent medium
• Medium produces light, proportional to particle energy

CLEOScintillation
• Complicated phenomenon
• Basic idea: convert particle kinetic energy into light
• Amount of light proportional to particle energy
• Light emission is prompt: scintillators useful as timers
• Scintillators used mostly w/ charged particles

CLEOCerenkov Radiation
• Emitted by charged particles only
• Emitted only when particle’s speed in medium exceeds that of light’s
• Pattern of light has cone-like shape:
• Particle’s speed determines shape of cone• Cerenkov detectors measure particle speed Particle momentum (mv) and speed (v) mass
