| Description: |
Written by renowned experts, this handbook examines detection techniques in the fields of particle physics, medical imaging and related subjects. It covers basic ideas, the applications of these devices in high-energy physics, and their use in medical imaging. |
| Synopsis: |
The handbook centers on detection techniques in the field of particle physics, medical imaging and related subjects. It is structured into three parts. The first one is dealing with basic ideas of particle detectors, followed by applications of these devices in high energy physics and other fields. In the last part the large field of medical imaging using similar detection techniques is described. The different chapters of the book are written by world experts in their field. Clear instructions on the detection techniques and principles in terms of relevant operation parameters for scientists and graduate students are given.Detailed tables and diagrams will make this a very useful handbook for the application of these techniques in many different fields like physics, medicine, biology and other areas of natural science. |
