Detectors in Particle Physics: A Modern Introduction
Autor Georg Viehhauser, Tony Weidbergen Limba Engleză Hardback – 6 mar 2024
The primary audience is graduate students in particle or nuclear physics, in addition to advanced undergraduate students in physics.
Key Features:
- Provides an accessible yet thorough discussion of the basic physics principles needed to understand how particle detectors work.
- Presents applications of the basic physics concepts to examples of modern detectors.
- Discusses practically important aspects like electronics, alignment, calibration and simulation of particle detectors.
- Contains exercises for each chapter to further understanding.
This webpage also allows instructors to request a copy of the solutions manual. This eBook was published Open Access with funding support from the Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics (SCOAP3).

Notă biografică
Georg Viehhauser is a Lecturer in the Physics department at the University of Oxford, UK, and a supernumerary fellow at St. John’s College, Oxford, UK. He has been working on a variety of different particle detector technologies, starting with the Forward Chamber A at the DELPHI experiment, the LKr calorimeter for NA48, the muon chambers for ATLAS, and the RICH for CLEO III. More recently, he has contributed to the construction of the ATLAS SCT and he is currently involved in the phase 2 upgrade of the ATLAS ITk, as well as the SVT for the ePIC experiment. He is one of the main organisers of the Forum on Tracking Detector Mechanics.
Tony Weidberg is a Professor of Physics at Oxford University, UK and a tutorial fellow at St. John’s College. He worked on CCD readout for a scintillating fibre detector at the CERN SPS collider. He played a major role in the founding of the ATLAS experiment and the design of the ATLAS SCT. He has a wide range of experience from detector R&D, assembly and integration of complex detector systems as well as evaluating their performance. He has extensive experience in radiation hardness studies, particularly for optoelectronics and applications of reliability theory.
Both authors have a long experience in teaching undergraduate and graduate students at the University of Oxford.

Recenzii
The authors of the book are physicists, passionate to pass on their vast knowledge about detectors to graduate and advanced undergraduate students in experimental particle physics. The book provides a coherent overview of the field, starting with the basics of detection techniques and bringing the reader to state-of-the-art detector systems of complex particle physics experiments. It addresses as well challenges of detector application, such as alignment and calibration, which are often neglected in textbooks. End-of-chapter exercises provide students with a deeper understanding of each subject. I highly recommend it not only to students, but also to those who desire to broaden their knowledge about detectors in particle physics.
