Synopsis

A comprehensive introduction to the principles of particle detectors used in physics, biology and medicine.

A propos du livre

Revue de presse

'... an excellent volume, which largely succeeds in reaching its ambitious goal of describing 'the basic principles, uses and limitations of all currently used particle detectors and counters.' The level of detail, especially in the treatment of the physics underlying detector operation, makes it well suited for use by graduate students. Furthermore, its broad coverage, backed by a very extensive list of references, should satisfy the needs of more experienced researchers. I for one anticipate consulting it regularly in the future.' Bob Brown, Physics World

'This is an excellent book for graduate students and researchers in experimental particle physics, and for university staff teaching some undergraduate courses ... However the treatments are not too advanced for some senior undergraduates who may be carrying out relevant experimental projects.' Peter I. P. Kalmus, Contemporary Physics

'Fifth in the Cambridge Monographs series on Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics and Cosmology, this book will make a useful addition to any experimental physicist's armoury. Professor Grupen's career has taken him from cosmic ray muons in the 1970s to CERN's ALEPH experiment today, and in writing the book nothing has been left out.' James Gillies, CERN Courier

'... a comprehensive treatise.' Aslib Book Guide

Présentation de l'éditeur

This comprehensive book provides a detailed introduction to the principles of particle detectors used in physics, biology and medicine. Introductory chapters review the interactions of particles and radiation with matter, introduce the principles of detector operation and describe and define different types of measurement and their units. The main body of the book encompasses all currently used detectors and counters. Each description covers basic principles, potential uses and limitations. The scope of the book includes detectors for ionization and track measurement, methods for time, energy and momentum measurement, and for particle identification. Two chapters are dedicated to electronics (readout methods, monitoring, data acquisition) and data analysis. A final chapter gives examples of detector systems. The book concludes with a detailed glossary of terms, tables of units and physical constants and a detailed reference list.
