Introduction to Experimental Particle Physics


Free Download Introduction to Experimental Particle Physics
English | 2022 | ISBN: 1009290088 | 433 Pages | PDF | 69 MB
This book brings together the most important topics in experimental particle physics in the late twentieth century to give a brief but balanced overview of the subject. The author begins by reviewing particle physics and discussing electromagnetic and nuclear interactions. He then goes on to discuss three nearly universal aspects of particle physics experiments: beams, targets, and fast electronics. The second part of the book treats in detail the properties of various types of particle detector, such as scintillation counters, Cerenkov counters, proportional chambers, drift chambers, sampling calorimeters, and specialized detectors. Wherever possible the author attempts to enumerate the advantages and disadvantages of performance. Finally, he discusses aspects of specific experiments, such as properties of triggers, types of measurement, spectrometers, and the integration of detectors into coherent systems. First published in 1986, this title has been reissued as an Open Access publication on Cambridge Core.

Probability and Statistics in Experimental Physics


Free Download Probability and Statistics in Experimental Physics by Byron P. Roe
English | PDF | 1992 | 219 Pages | ISBN : N/A | 14.1 MB
This book is meant to be a practical introduction into the use of probability and statistics in experimental physics for advanced undergraduate students and for graduate students. I have attempted to write a short book. It is not intended as a comprehensive text in probability and statistics. I have tried to emphasize areas I have found to be useful when doing experimental physics. Except for the first two chapters the emphasis is on applications and understanding. I have omitted proofs of formal theorems in the interests of brevity unless I felt the proof added to one’s intuition in understanding and applying the theorem. Since, however, this is a field in which there are often a number of misunderstandings, it is necessary to state some things with reasonable precision. I have tried to do this when necessary. I assume the student is familiar with partial derivatives and with ele mentary matrix manipulation. A computer is a needed tool for probability and statistics in experimental physics. We will introduce its use in this subject in some of the homework problems. One may interact with a computer in a batch mode or an inter active mode. In a batch mode, one submits FORTRAN or other language programs, the computer processes them, and returns the end results. In the interactive mode, one gives the computer an instruction, the computer processes it, indicates what it has done, and waits for the next instruction.

Experimental and Quasi-Experimental Designs for Generalized Causal Inference


Free Download Experimental and Quasi-Experimental Designs for Generalized Causal Inference By William R. Shadish, Thomas D. Cook, Donald T. Campbell
2002 | 646 Pages | ISBN: 0395615569 | PDF | 42 MB
This is a book for those who have already decided that identifying a dependable relationship between a cause and its effects is a high priority and who wish to consider experimental methods for doing so. Such causal relationships are of great importance in human affairs. The rewards associated with being correct in identifying causal relationships can be high, an the costs of misidentification can be tremendous. This book has two major purposes: to describe ways in which testing causal propositions can be improved in specific research projects, and to describe ways to improve generalizations about causal propositions. This long awaited successor of the original Cook/Campbell Quasi-Experimentation: Design and Analysis Issues for Field Settings represents updates in the field over the last two decades. The book covers four major topics in field experimentation:- Theoretical matters: Experimentation, causation, and validity- Quasi-experimental design: Regression discontinuity designs, interrupted time series designs, quasi-experimental designs that use both pretests and control groups, and other designs- Randomized experiments: Logic and design issues, and practical problems involving ethics, recruitment, assignment, treatment implementation, and attrition- Generalized causal inference: A grounded theory of generalized causal inference, along with methods for implementing that theory in single and multiple studies
