Experimental Techniques in High-energy Nuclear and Particle Physics

"Experimental Techniques in High-Energy Nuclear and Particle Physics" is a compilation of technical papers and reviews of the ingenious methods developed for experimentation in modern nuclear and particle physics. This book views the major tools and technical concepts currently in use and elucidates the basic principles that underlie the detection devices. Several of the articles in this volume have never been published, or have appeared in relatively inaccessible journals. Although the emphasis is on charged-particle tracking and calorimetry, general reviews of ionization detectors and Monte Carlo techniques are also included.
