Particle Detection with Drift Chambers

Particle Detection with Drift Chambers by Walter Blum, Werner Riegler, Luigi Rolandi.

This volume presents a thorough introduction to the theory and operation of drift chambers, one of the most important modern methods of elementary particle detection. The topics, presented in a text-book style with many illustrations, include the basics of gas ionization, by particles and by lasers,...
