Instrumentation In High Energy Physics

This volume contains topical papers covering the various aspects of instrumentation in high energy physics. The subjects of the contributions, all previously unpublished, have been chosen to provide an overview of the fundamental processes and of the technological problems encountered in detecting, tracking and identifying charged and neutral particles in modern particle physics experiments.Each contribution offers a concise but complete description of the state-of-the-art regarding the subject, and is addressed to post-doctoral and research staff readers; it will also be found useful as a teaching aid for students and participants in specialized schools and workshops on intermediate and high energy experimental physics.

The proceedings volume includes about 50 invited talks by experts, covering advances in the following fields of instrumentation for colliding beam physics: 1. Tracking; 2. Vertex detectors; 3. Particle identification; 4. Calorimetry; 5. Electronics and trigger systems; 6. Interactions between detectors and accelerators in addition to reviews about the most advanced ideas in these fields.

The proceedings is mainly devoted to experimental high energy physics which comprise (i) review articles on experimental techniques for the detection of particles and radiation; (ii) articles on experimental and theoretical challenges for particle physics in the nineties; (iii) description and laboratory guide to small table top experiments that were performed during the school and which can be reproduced easily for teaching purposes.

These two volumes present the proceedings of the International Conference on Technology and Instrumentation in Particle Physics 2017 (TIPP2017), which was held in Beijing, China from 22 to 26 May 2017. Gathering selected articles on the basis of their quality and originality, it highlights the latest developments and research trends in detectors and instrumentation for all branches of particle physics, particle astrophysics and closely related fields. This is the second volume, and focuses on the main themes Astrophysics and space instrumentation, Front-end electronics and fast data transmission, Trigger and data acquisition systems, Machine detectors, Interfaces and beam instrumentation, Backend readout structures and embedded systems, Medical imaging, and Security & other applications. The TIPP2017 is the fourth in a series of international conferences on detectors and instrumentation, held under the auspices of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP). The event brings together experts from the scientific and industrial communities to discuss their current efforts and plan for the future. The conference’s aim is to provide a stimulating atmosphere for scientists and engineers from around the world.
