DESCRIPTION:
One of the bibles for particle detectors Kevin Kwok If you are working on the field of experimental particle physics, and you need to learn some basics or do some revision on particle detectors, then this is one of the on-shelf bibles. Another one is Particle Detectors by Claus Grupen. In introducing and explaining the working principle of particle detectors, Kleinknecht does a slightly better job, while for update information of detectors Grupen does a slightly better job. Both are good and are on-shelf bibles.. Short but sweet. A nice, carefully chosen set of topics. Concise. Inexpensive. Very good for what it is, but of course digging deeper is simply out of scope. Just a great summary / refresher.
It provides both a coursebook for students in physics, and a useful introduction for researchers in other fields.. This well-illustrated textbook contains examples from the many areas in science in which these detectors are used. This textbook provides a clear, concise and comprehensive review of the physical principles behind the devices used to detect charged particles and gamma rays, and the construction and performance of these many different types of detectors. Detectors for high-energy particles and radiation are used in many areas of science, especially particle physics and nuclear physics experiments, nuclear medicine, cosmic ray measurements, space sciences and geological exploration. This second edition includes all the latest developments in detector technology, including several new chapters covering micro-strip gas chambers, silicion strip detectors and CCDs, scintillating fibers, shower detectors using noble liquid gases, and compensating calorimeters for hadronic showers
