This Open Access text describes the processes involved in gaseous radiation detection, ideal for nuclear and particle physics researchers.
Study of nature and the world around us has been a primary motivation for scientists and researchers for centuries. Advanced methods in the study of elementary particles have led to even greater discoveries in recent years. Innovative Applications and Developments of Micro-Pattern Gaseous Detectors focuses on the analysis and use of various gas detection systems, providing a detailed description of some of the most commonly used gas detectors and the science behind them. From early detectors to modern tools and techniques, this book will be of particular use to practitioners and researchers in chemical engineering and materials science, in addition to students and academicians concentrating in the field.
This book covers the following topics: (1) meson and hadron production by real and virtual photon interaction with nucleons and nuclei; (2) astrophysical studies via photoreactions and hadron reactions; (3) new technologies for the electromagnetic probes and detector development; (4) nuclear structure studies with electromagnetic probes; (5) fundamental symmetries with electromagnetic probes and related problems.The proceedings have been selected for coverage in:• Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings)
This book presents more than 100 papers devoted to the understanding of fission processes and neutron-rich nuclei. All forms of fission, from spontaneous fission of 252Cf to high-energy fragmentation, are included. Together with studies on properties of neutron-rich nuclei and astrophysics, the book also features new experimental techniques, directions and the emerging new radioactive beam facilities.

Gaseous photomultipliers are defined as gas-filled devices capable of recording single ultraviolet (UV) and visible photons with high position resolution. Used in a variety of research areas, these detectors can be paired with computers to treat and store imaging information of UV-light. Position-Sensitive Gaseous Photomultipliers: Research and Applications explores the advancement of gaseous detectors as applied for single photon detection. Emphasizing emerging perspectives and new ways to apply gaseous detectors across research fields, this research-based publication is an essential reference source for engineers, physicists, graduate-level students, and researchers.
« Ma carrière de physicien a commencé à 24 ans et a été plus complexe que celle de la plupart des jeunes scientifiques français. J’ai souhaité, ici, dans ce livre, en décrire les facettes multiples, depuis l’arrivée du jeune émigré venu en France à l’âge de 7 ans qui choisit la France comme patrie et survit à la déportation, jusqu’aux activités politiques, humaines qui m’ont amené à devenir aujourd’hui un homme actif dans l’enseignement des sciences donné aux enfants, et angoissé par l’utilisation des applications technologiques de la science sur l’avenir de l’humanité. L’ambition de ce livre est de montrer l’extraordinaire édifice de la phys...
