Case studies of the various applications of detectors in particle physics are provided. The primary audience is graduate students in particle or nuclear physics, in addition to advanced undergraduate students in physics. Key Features: Provides an accessible yet thorough discussion of the basic physics principles needed to understand how particle detectors work.
