Download or read book Detectors for Particle Radiation Volume 2 Particle Physics Essentials written by Abdiel Baxter and published by Clanrye International. This book was released on 2023-09-26 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Radiation is described as the particles or energies emitted through radioactive matter. The most common types of radiations are gamma rays, alpha particles, X-rays and beta particles. Radiation detectors refer to those devices that detect and transmit information about incoming radiation. They are useful in biology, medicine, physics and geology. Generally, radiation detectors are not capable of capturing radiated particles and they do not even observe the radiation itself. The detectors search for the trails which radiation has left behind. The objective behind the design of detectors is the creation of an environment where radiation signature can be easily written. This book brings forth some of the most innovative concepts and elucidates the unexplored aspects of detectors for particle radiation. It will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.

Download or read book Particle Detectors written by Hermann Kolanoski and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020 with total page 949 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book describes the fundamentals of particle detectors in their different forms as well as their applications, presenting the abundant material as clearly as possible and as deeply as needed for a thorough understanding. The target group for the book are both, students who want to get an introduction or wish to deepen their knowledge on the subject as well as lecturers and researchers who intend to extent their expertise. The book is also suited as a preparation for instrumental work in nuclear, particle and astroparticle physics and in many other fields (addressed in chapter 2). The detection of elementary particles, nuclei and high-energetic electromagnetic radiation, in this book commonly designated as 'particles', proceeds through interactions of the particles with matter. A detector records signals originating from the interactions occurring in or near the detector and (in general) feeds them into an electronic data acquisition system. The book describes the various steps in this process, beginning with the relevant interactions with matter, then proceeding to their exploitation for different detector types like tracking detectors, detectors for particle identification, detectors for energy measurements, detectors in astroparticle experiments, and ending with a discussion of signal processing and data acquisition. Besides the introductory and overview chapters (chapters 1 and 2), the book is divided into five subject areas: - fundamentals (chapters 3 to 5), - detection of tracks of charged particles (chapters 6 to 9), - phenomena and methods mainly applied for particle identification (chapters 10 to 14), - energy measurement (accelerator and non-accelerator experiments) (chapters 15, 16), - electronics and data acquisition (chapters 17 and 18). Comprehensive lists of literature, keywords and abbreviations can be found at the end of the book.
