Reviews
Review of the hardback: '... a comprehensive treatise.' Aslib Book Guide Review of the hardback: '... an excellent book for graduate students and researchers in experimental particle physics, and for university staff teaching some undergraduate courses ..."" Contemporary Physics Peter I. P. Kalmus Review of the hardback: '...clearly laid out in textbook style, with a set of problems at the end of each chapter and solutions at the back. Fully referenced and generously indexed, it also includes five appendices covering fundamental constants, units, relevant material properties, decay schemes and Monte Carlo generators, which all go to make it a fully rounded reference work.' The Observatory Review of the hardback: From reviews of the first edition: '... an excellent volume ...The level of detail, especially in the treatment of the physics underlying detector operation, makes it well suited for use by graduate students. Furthermore, its broad coverage, backed by a very extensive list of references, should satisfy the needs of more experienced researchers. I for one anticipate consulting it regularly in the future.' Physics World Bob Brown Review of the hardback: Professor Grupen's career has taken him from cosmic ray muons in the 1970s to CERN's ALEPH experiment today, and in writing the book nothing has been left out.' CERN Courier James Gillies

Author Information
Claus Grupen is Professor in the Department of Physics at Siegen University. He was awarded the Special High Energy and Particle Physics Prize of the European Physical Society for establishing the existence of the gluon in independent and simultaneous ways, as member of the PLUTO experiment at DESY in 1995. Boris Shwartz is a Leading Researcher at the Budker Institute of Nuclear Physics. He has worked on the development and construction of the detectors used in several projects, including the KEDR and CMD-2 detectors, and WASA and Belle experiments.
