Particle physics reference library : : volume 2: detectors for particles and radiation / / edited by Christian W. Fabjan, Herwig Schopper.

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...
