Ebook: Ionization Measurements in High Energy Physics

Berlin: Springer-Verlag, 1993. – 344 pp. (Springer Tracts in Modern Physics, volume 124)
The book deals with ionization damping of fast charged particles in matter and with experimental methods of ionization measurements based on this phenomenon, which are applied in high energy physics for the identification and separation of charged particles according to their ionizing powers.Contents.
