Hardback: £89
E-book: £67
Using their many years of experience both in research with silicon detectors and in giving lectures at various levels, Leroy and Rancoita address the fundamental principles of interactions between radiation and matter, together with working principles and the operation of particle detectors based on silicon solid-state devices. They cover a range of fields of application of radiation detectors based on these devices, from low- to high-energy physics experiments, including those in outer space and medicine. Their book also covers state-of-the-art detection techniques in the use of such radiation detectors and their read-out electronics, including the latest developments in pixellated silicon radiation detectors and their applications.
