At the leading edge : the ATLAS and CMS LHC experiments

At the leading edge : the ATLAS and CMS LHC experiments / editor, Dan Green.

Too often descriptions of detectors focus on the "what" and not the "why". This volume aims to elucidate how the requirements of the physics at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) define the detector environment. In turn, the detector choices are made to adopt to that environment. Th...
