Description

Physics of detectors

• General concepts : Ramo theorem and signal creation, signal-over-noise, efficiencies, resolutions
• Gazeous detectors : various regimes, ion chambers, micropatterned detectors, resistive plate chambers
• Semiconductors : p-n diodes, silicon strip and pixel sensors, monolithic sensors, germanium sensors
• Scintillators : light generation, organic and inorganic materials
• Visible photon detectors : photocathode, photomultipliers, siliconPM
• Cerenkov & transition-radiation detectors

Detector systems

• Position measurements, tracking : multiple scattering, finding and fitting algorthms
• Energy measurements : calorimetry in high-energy physics (hadronic and electromagnetic showers) and spectroscopy in nuclear physics (Compton scattering)
• Particle identification : dE/dx, Cerenkov, transition radiation
• Complete systems : experiments on colliders, in astroparticles, in nuclear physics
