dE/dx measurement in the ATLAS Pixel Detector and its use for particle identification

The ATLAS Pixel Detector provides a measurement of the charge deposited by each track crossing it. This note presents a study of how this information can be used to identify low beta particles. This study uses hits recorded in the 7 TeV proton-proton collisions during the 2010 run period and the cor...

Sumario:The ATLAS Pixel Detector provides a measurement of the charge deposited by each track crossing it. This note presents a study of how this information can be used to identify low beta particles. This study uses hits recorded in the 7 TeV proton-proton collisions during the 2010 run period and the corresponding Monte Carlo simulation. The track reconstruction has been done in the standard ATLAS software environment.
