Evolution of Silicon Sensor Technology in Particle Physics: Basics and Applications: 293 (Springer Tracts in Modern Physics) - Hardcover

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

Dr. Frank Hartmann is a member of the detector group at the Compact Muon Solenoid (CMS) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN. He headed the CMS Tracker project for eight years, serving as project manager or deputy project manager. Currently, he coordinates the entire CMS Upgrade for the High-Luminosity LHC. Additionally, he teaches physics and detector science at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

This third edition of a well-received monograph provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art of detectors and their evolution. In addition to the silicon sensor technology described in the second edition, the book covers the following new topics: precise timing detectors (3D sensors and sensors with intrinsic gain layers), passive CMOS sensors, new developments in HV-CMOS sensors, and sparking in strip and pixel detectors. The chapter on the HL-LHC CMS upgrades has been updated, and the historical overview has been enriched with a section on the UA2 SPD pad detector system.

The book includes a wealth of schematics and photos of detectors. It is also valuable for detector courses at the master/PhD level.
