Particle physics experiments at high energy colliders / by John Hauptman. - First Edition - xiii, 210 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm. - Physics textbook . - Physics textbook. .
Includes index.
Includes bibliographical references (pages 203-208).
1 Introduction -- 2 Particles of the "standard model" -- 3 Particle detectors -- 4 Particle identification -- 5 Particle accelerators and colliders -- 6 General principles of big detectors -- 7 4th concept detector -- 8 The sociology of collaborations.
Written by one of the leading experts developing the International Linear Collider, this is the first textbook for graduate students dedicated to the complexities and the simplicities of high energy colliders. It is intended as a specialized reference for a standard course in particle physics, and as a principal text for a special topics course focused on large collider experiments. Sidebars are used throughout to demonstrate the simplicity of some of the physics essential to the understanding of particles and detectors -- usually starting from basic principles -- and also to highlight anecdotes.
Equally useful as a general guide for physicists designing big detectors.
