Sunil Kumar, “Radiation Detection Basics & Development of Advance Gas Detector: Characterization and Experimental Validation”, LAP Lambert Academic Publishing (2013-02-20), ISBN-13: 978-3-659-22249-8, ISBN-10: 3659222498, EAN: 9783659222498, category: Technology, (complete book of 176 pages).
Detectors play a crucial role in detecting radiation and monitoring experimental processes. They are available in a wide range, designed to suit various applications and environmental conditions, and are not limited to particle physics, but are also used in fields such as medicine, power generation, geology, and astrophysics. The portability and flexibility in their design have made them popular and convenient for different purposes, such as the Geiger counter wristwatch for radiation detection. Developing detectors is a challenging task that requires extensive research and development to ensure reliable performance in realistic situations. This book focuses on the Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) detector concept and development at CERN, providing a comprehensive introduction to atoms, radiation and their detection, fundamental particles, the LHC accelerator, and its detectors. It is intended for students and beginners seeking fundamental knowledge and feedback to improve the work.
