Evolution of Silicon Sensor Technology in Particle Physics

by Frank Hartmann

Book Overview

This informative book describes the technological evolution of silicon detectors and their impact on high- energy particle physics. The author draws on his own first-hand experience in the development and also the realization of the DELPHI, CDF II and the CMS tracking detector. The basic principles of small strip- and pixel-detectors are presented and also the final large-scale applications. The text acquaints readers with the manifold challenges...
