Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

MoreLong description:
This textbook provides an accessible yet comprehensive introduction to detectors in particle physics. It emphasises the core physics principles, enabling a deeper understanding of the subject for further and more advanced studies. In addition to the discussion of the underlying detector physics, another aspiration of this book is to introduce the reader to practically important aspects of particle detectors, like electronics, alignment, calibration and simulation of particle detectors. Case studies of the various applications of detectors in particle physics are provided.
The primary audience is graduate students in particle or nuclear physics, in addition to advanced undergraduate students in physics.
Key Features:
- Provides an accessible yet thorough discussion of the basic physics principles needed to understand how particle detectors work.
- Presents applications of the basic physics concepts to examples of modern detectors.
- Discusses practically important aspects like electronics, alignment, calibration and simulation of particle detectors.
- Contains exercises for each chapter to further understanding.
