Synopsis

This study edition addresses those students who wish to understand particle detection and drift chambers. The book provides a solid foundation for judging the achievable accuracy for co-ordinate and ionization measurements. It covers topics such as gas ionization by particles and by laser rays; the drift of electrons and ions in gases; electrostatics of wire grids and field cages; amplification of ionization; creation of the signal track parameters and their errors; ion gates; particle identification by measurement of ionization; existing chambers; and drift chamber gas. The topics are treated in a text-book style with many figures. Calculations are performed explicitly.
