A treatment of the experimental techniques and instrumentation most often used in nuclear and particle physics experiments as well as in various other experiments, providing useful results and formulae, technical know-how and informative details. This second edition has been revised, while sections on Cherenkov radiation and radiation protection have been updated and extended.
Any discussion of a book like this must be compared to Knoll's book on the same topic. While it is not as comprehensive, I have not found that it is lacking a fruitful discussion in any area.
Nicely written, follows a pedagogical path, gives good overview of the topic assuming the reader has a working knowledge of basic electromagnetic theory
