Particle detectors. Foundations and applications. (Teilchendetektoren. Grundlagen und Anwendungen.) (German) Zbl 1384.81003

Berlin: Springer Spektrum (ISBN 978-3-662-45349-0/pbk; 978-3-662-45350-6/ebook). xvi, 921 p. (2016).
The book outlines the experimental foundations of particle detectors and their application in experimental physics. The book is intended for researchers who want to deepen their knowledge in this field of experimental physics. The book addresses the following issues: (1) provides a history and overview of the use of detectors; (2) a brief review of the interaction of elementary particles with matter; (3) the motion of charged particles in electric and magnetic fields; (4) the appearance of signals during the movement of charges; (5) review of non-electron detectors; (6) detailed consideration of the physical basis of gas-filled, semiconductor, photo, Cherenkov and scintillation detectors; (7) the consideration of the physical basis for measuring the trajectory of the motion of charged particles in a magnetic field; (8) the identification of elementary particles; (9) physical basis of calorimeters; (10) the measurement of the characteristics of cosmic rays; (11) the basis of signal processing and noise during measurements; (12) the data acceptance system.
