More about the book

Focusing on the requirements of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), this volume explores how the physics goals shape detector design. It highlights the need for fast, finely segmented, low noise, and radiation-resistant detectors to effectively measure rare particles like electrons and muons, given the challenging conditions of 0.1 fb cross-sections and high luminosity. The construction of innovative detectors, such as ATLAS and CMS, involved advancements in various systems including tracking, calorimetry, and data acquisition, aimed at enhancing the exploration of electroweak symmetry breaking.
