Book Description
This second open access volume of the handbook series deals with detectors, large experimental facilities and data handling, both for accelerator and non-accelerator based experiments. It also covers applications in medicine and life sciences. A joint CERN-Springer initiative, the "Particle Physics Reference Library" provides revised and updated contributions based on previously published material in the well-known Landolt-Boernstein series on particle physics, accelerators and detectors (volumes 21A, B1,B2,C), which took stock of the field approximately one decade ago. Central to this new initiative is publication under full open access

Use and Processing of Nuclear Emulsions as Particle Detectors
Author: Katsura Fukui
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Detectors
Languages : en
Pages : 144
Book Description
This paper was written primarily for the technicians who handle nuclear emulsions. It covers some of the fundamental techniques for the daily use of nuclear emulsion in the laboratory. Although some newly developed methods are included, most effort was devoted to giving further detail on already established methods. Techniques for preparing the emulsion sample, exposing the emulsion to radiation, processing the emulsion, photomicrography, scanning, and measuring are described in simple language.

Particle Detectors
Author: Hermann Kolanoski
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0191899232
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 949
Book Description
This book describes the fundamentals of particle detectors as well as their applications. Detector development is an important part of nuclear, particle and astroparticle physics, and through its applications in radiation imaging, it paves the way for advancements in the biomedical and materials sciences. Knowledge in detector physics is one of the required skills of an experimental physicist in these fields. The breadth of knowledge required for detector development comprises many areas of physics and technology, starting from interactions of particles with matter, gas- and solid-state physics, over charge transport and signal development, to elements of microelectronics. The book's aim is to describe the fundamentals of detectors and their different variants and implementations as clearly as possible and as deeply as needed for a thorough understanding. While this comprehensive opus contains all the materials taught in experimental particle physics lectures or modules addressing detector physics at the Master's level, it also goes well beyond these basic requirements. This is an essential text for students who want to deepen their knowledge in this field. It is also a highly useful guide for lecturers and scientists looking for a starting point for detector development work.

Muography
Author: László Oláh
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 111972306X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 688
Book Description
A technique for visualizing Earth's subsurface at high resolution Hidden out of sight in Earth’s subsurface are a range of geophysical structures, processes, and material movements. Muography is a passive and non-destructive remote sensing technique that visualizes the internal structure of solid geological structures at high resolution, similar in process to X-ray radiography of human bodies. Muography: Exploring Earth's Subsurface with Elementary Particles explores the application of this imaging technique in the geosciences and how it can complement conventional geophysical observations. Volume highlights include: Principles of muography and pioneering works in the field Different approaches for muographic image processing Observing volcanic structures and activity with muography Using muography for geophysical exploration and mining engineering Potential environmental applications of muography Latest technological developments in muography The American Geophysical Union promotes discovery in Earth and space science for the benefit of humanity. Its publications disseminate scientific knowledge and provide resources for researchers, students, and professionals.

Handbook of Particle Detection and Imaging
Author: Claus Grupen
Publisher: Springer Science & Business Media
ISBN: 3642132715
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 1251
Book Description
The handbook centers on detection techniques in the field of particle physics, medical imaging and related subjects. It is structured into three parts. The first one is dealing with basic ideas of particle detectors, followed by applications of these devices in high energy physics and other fields. In the last part the large field of medical imaging using similar detection techniques is described. The different chapters of the book are written by world experts in their field. Clear instructions on the detection techniques and principles in terms of relevant operation parameters for scientists and graduate students are given.Detailed tables and diagrams will make this a very useful handbook for the application of these techniques in many different fields like physics, medicine, biology and other areas of natural science.

ISBN:
Category : Detectors
Languages : en
Pages : 68
Book Description
This report covers the fundamental techniques for handling plastic detectors. It also covers the method for analyzing the events recorded in the detectors. As in the previous report on the nuclear emulsion technique, K. Fukui (1972), the information is limited to the practical techniques that the laboratory technicians should know. Included are descriptions on various kinds of plastic materials, preparation for the exposure, irradiation method, scanning, and analysis of the events.
