| ABSTRACT: |
This course provides overview of basics for particle detector to help further undersating of more complex particle detectors described by other lectures. Starting from the review of basic particle interactions such as ionizations, radiations and photon interactions, I will describe basic operation principles of various detector technologies including scintillation detectors, photon sensors, Cherenkov detectors, gaseous detectors, noble liquid detectors, semiconductor detectors, Compton detectors, bolometers and micro-calorimeters. If I have time left, I will cover basics for signal processing of particle detectors. |
