Particle Detectors

  • Chapter
Techniques and Concepts of High-Energy Physics

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((NSSB,volume 66))

  • 152 Accesses

Abstract

Experimental high-energy physics is based on the ability of the experimenter to detect particles produced in strong, electro magnetic and weak interactions. Detector systems of huge dimensions and very high complexity can be built presently because on-line computers and fast data processing enable permanent control of such big systems. But still the basic principles of detectors are simple and have not changed during the past five years.
