Product Description
This BriefBook is a much extended glossary or a much condensed handbook, depending on the way one looks at it. It deals with detectors in particle and nuclear physics experiments. The authors describe, in encyclopedic format, the physics, the application, and the analysis of data from these detectors. Ample reference is made to the published literature. An introduction for newcomers, a reference for scientists.

Good for students of nuclear and particle physics

I bought this book last year while I was a student in London. As a student of nuclear physics/chemistry, I found this book very useful as a reference to the different aspects of detectors and principles of particle detection. It's all in alphabetical order, and gives a good explanation of the different subjects. Good value for the price of this book.
