Ionization Measurements in High Energy Physics [Paperback]

This completely revised and enlarged English edition of theoriginal Russianbook deals with the identification andseparation of charged particles in high energy physicsexperiments. Proportional drift and streamer chambers aswell as ionization measurements with cloud, spark, andionization chambers are discussed. Both scientists andadvanced undergraduate students specializing in high energyor nuclear physics will find useful information for planningand performing ionization measurements and their analyses.Ionization effects in a polarizable medium.- Physical processes in gas ionization detectors.- Ionization measurements in proportional detectors.- Spatial resolution and electronics of multilayer proportional detectors.- Ionization measurements in gas track detectors.- Alternative methods of ionization measurement.Springer Book ArchivesDE
