This book addresses the fundamental principles of interaction between radiation and matter, the principles of working and the operation of particle detectors based on silicon solid state devices. It covers a broad scope in the fields of application of radiation detectors based on silicon solid state devices from low to high energy physics experiments, including in outer space and in the medical environment. This book also covers state-of-the-art detection techniques in the use of radiation detectors based on silicon solid state devices and their readout electronics, including the latest developments on pixelated silicon radiation detector and their application.

The content and coverage of the book benefit from the extensive experience of the two authors who have made significant contributions as researchers as well as in teaching physics students in various universities.

Contents:

  • Interactions of Charged Particles and Photons
  • Physics and Properties of Silicon Semiconductor
  • Transport Phenomena in Semiconductors
  • Properties of the p-n Junctions of Silicon Radiation Devices
  • Charged Particle Detectors
  • Photon Detectors and Dosimetric Devices
  • Examples of Applications of Silicon Devices in Physics and Medical Physics
  • Appendix A: General Properties and Physical Constants

Readership: Graduate students, researchers and professionals involved in space research and medical researchers using silicon based radiation detectors.
Key Features:

  • A detailed presentation of the fundamental principles of interaction between radiation and matter, combined with the principles of working and operation of particle detectors based on silicon solid state devices
  • Complete coverage of applications in physics experiments from low to high energy, space physics and medical fields, including imaging applications
  • Detailed presentation and explanations for all topics treated in the book benefitting from the large experience of the two authors
  • Several topics are clearly unique at this time such as the section on pixel detectors
