Particle Detector and the Drift Chamber

This book is designed as an advanced guide for experiments in Modern Physics. It covers the Particle Detector and the Drift Chamber: X rays detectors, proportional gas detectors, scintillators and photomultipliers, semiconductor detectors, Germanium detectors, γ ray spectrometry, High Purity Germanium detectors, energy resolution, photopeak efficiency, peak to Compton ratio, resolution of the detectors and electronics, liquid scintillators to measure the mean lifetime of the muons, electronic logic, silicon lithium drifted detectors, Thalium doped Sodium Iodine crystal detector, Drift Chamber: drift and diffusion in gases, proportional gas gain, drift and diffusion in a mean electron model, drift velocity, reduced field, gas gain, resolution, etc. It is included the deduction of many formulas and the statistical analysis in order to clear the concepts and to get the concordance between the theory and the experiment. It is hoped that this book fills all needs of the students to get the fundaments of advanced experiments and to achieve the interest and motivation of the students for the real nature of the Physics
