    Description


    Organiser(s): HR-RFA

    Summary:
    The lecture series will present an overview of the basic techniques and underlying physical principles of particle detectors, applied to current and future high energy physics experiments. Illustrating examples, mainly form the field of collider experiments, will demonstrate the performance and limitations of the various techniques. After an introduction the following topics will be covered:
    - Tracking (gas, solid state based)
    - Scintillation and light detection
    - Calorimetry
    - Particle Identification
    - Electronics and Data Acquisition
    - Detector Systems

    Prerequisite knowledge and references:
    General undergraduate physics
