The Physics of Particle Detectors (Cambridge Monographs on Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics and Cosmology) by Green, Dan (2005) Paperback

Cambridge Monographs on Particle Physics, Nuclear Physics and Cosmology #12

by Dan Green

This text provides a comprehensive introduction to the physical principles and design of particle detectors, covering all major detector types in use today. The emphasis is placed on explaining the physical principles on which detection is based, and showing, by considering appropriate examples, how those principles are best utilized in real detectors. This approach also reveals the limitations that are intrinsic to different devices. Exercises and detailed further reading lists are included." "This book will be of interest and value to undergraduates, graduates and researchers in both particle and nuclear physics.

DAN GREEN received his Ph.D. from the University of Rochester in 1969. He held a post-doctoral position at Stony Brook from 1969 to 1972 and worked for a time at the Intersecting Storage Rings (ISR) at CERN. His next appointment was as an Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University from 1972 to 1978 during which time he was also Spokesperson of a BNL Baryonium Experiment. He has been a Staff Scientist at Fermilab from 1979 to the present, and has worked in a wide variety of roles on experiments both at Fermilab and elsewhere. He participated in the D0 Experiment as Muon Group Leader from 1982 to 1990 and as B Physics Group Co-Convener from 1990 to 1994. He led the US compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) Collaboration as Spokesperson and then Project Manager for the US groups working at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. At Fermilab, he was Physics
