Exercise 8: A bit more physics
(15 minutes)
Assuming a relativistic particle, the measured energy of the particle in our example n-tuple is given by
\[E_{meas}^{2} = p_{x}^{2} + p_{y}^{2} + p_{z}^{2}\]
and the energy lost by the particle is given by
\[E_{loss} = E_{beam} - E_{meas}\]
Define the new columns needed and
make a scatterplot of
\(E_{loss}\)
vs. zv
. Is there a relationship
between the z-distance traveled in the target and the amount of energy
lost?
