It synthesises several techniques of and approaches to radiation detection, covering a wide range of applications and addressing a large audience of experts and students. Many of the talks are in fact reviews of particular topics often not covered in standard books and other conferences, for instance, the medical physics section. To present these medical physics talks is crucial, since a large fraction of the community in medical physics are from the particle physics community. The same feature is true for astroparti Notes Print version record Subject Nuclear physics -- Instruments -- Congresses Particles (Nuclear physics) -- Instruments -- Congresses Nuclear counters -- Congresses Nuclear counters Nuclear physics -- Instruments Particles (Nuclear physics) -- Instruments Genre/Form Conference papers and proceedings Form Electronic book ISBN 1299741312 9781299741317 9789812776464 981277646X
