This volume contains topical papers covering the various aspects of instrumentation in high energy physics. The subjects of the contributions, all previously unpublished, have been chosen to provide an overview of the fundamental processes and of the technological problems encountered in detecting, tracking and identifying charged and neutral particles in modern particle physics experiments.Each contribution offers a concise but complete description of the state-of-the-art regarding the subject, and is addressed to post-doctoral and research staff readers; it will also be found useful as a teaching aid for students and participants in specialized schools and workshops on intermediate and high energy experimental physics.Contents:Silicon Microstrip Detectors (A Peisert)The Time Projection Chamber (W Witzeling & T Lohse)Electromagnetic and Hadronic Calorimeters (P B Cushman)Fast Scintillators for High Radiation Levels (S Majewski & C Zorn)Liquid Detectors for Precision Calorimetry (M Chen et al.)Large Area and Muon Detectors (U Becker)Readership: High energy physicists.Key Features:At the end of each chapter is a list of terminologies and questions provided for classroom instructional purposes, in addition to their use by researchers and industry professionals. Answers to the questions and powerpoint slides are available upon request
