Introduction

Abstract

AbstractThe present textbook is an introduction to measurement techniques in nuclear and particle physics and to particle accelerators. This subject is a part of the standard curriculum in Physics, Nuclear Engineering and Medical Physics. The course should preferably be taken together with a more theoretically oriented course on nuclear physics or particle physics. References [1–3] are a few of the many good handbooks providing this. However, the book can be used as a stand-alone textbook on the experimental aspects of nuclear and particle physics. The only pre-requisite is the general mathematics and physics background that is required for all students in Physics and Engineering.
