| Calorimetry for Particle Physics (2003) | |
Abstract | |
| Calorimetry has become a well-understood, powerful, and versatile measurement method. Besides perfecting this technique to match increasingly demanding operation at high-energy particle accelerators, physicists are developing low-temperature calorimeters to extend detection down to ever lower energies, and atmospheric and deep-sea calorimeters to scrutinize the Universe up to the highest energies. We summarize the state of the art, with emphasis on the physics of the detectors and innovative technologies. | |
