Calorimetry in High Energy Physics

  • Chapter
Techniques and Concepts of High-Energy Physics VI

Part of the book series: NATO ASI Series ((NSSB,volume 275))

Abstract

Experimental particle physicists study the fundamental structure of matter with a variety of approaches, which may be subdivided in two classes: accelerator and non-accelerator experiments. Accelerator experiments have the advantage of well-controlled experimental circumstances, non-accelerator experiments offer the possibility of studying processes that are not accessible to the available accelerator technology.
