DESCRIPTION:
From the Back CoverThis volume presents a thorough introduction to the theory and operation of drift chambers, one of the most important modern methods of elementary particle detection. Thus the treatment, well beyond addressing the specialist in the field, is well suited to graduate physics students and nuclear engineers seeking a both thorough and pedagogical introduction to the field. The calculation of the device parameters and physical processes are presented in some detail, as is all necessary background material. The topics, presented in a text-book style with many illustrations, include the basics of gas ionization, by particles and by lasers, drift of electrons and ions in gases and signal creation and disc
This second edition is a thoroughly revised, updated and expanded version of a classic text, with lots of new material on electronic signal creation, amplification and shaping. The topics discussed include the basics of gas ionization, electronic drift and signal creation and discuss in depth the fundamental limits of accuracy and the issue of particle identification.. It’s still a thorough general introduction, too, to the theory and operation of drift chambers
Five Stars KR Very useful for particle physics experiments. Good background descriptions included
