Particle identification (PID) refers to the techniques and methods used in experimental particle physics and related fields to determine the type of particles produced in a collision or reaction. This is crucial for understanding the fundamental components of matter and the interactions between them. Through various detection technologies and analysis methods, researchers can differentiate between various particles—such as electrons, muons, pions, protons, and heavier particles—based on their unique signatures, characteristics, and behaviors.
