The research field of high energy physics is fascinating and
fruitful. It is also slow, delicate and painful. Behind any
scientific discovery there is a quite complex clockwork,
responsible of its existence. This clockwork system is composed of
exceptionally hard working individuals and extremely efficient
machines: from theorists to technicians; from high vacuum systems
to distributed computing software. This complex system was once put
to work and in the span of some decades it shifted completely our
vision about the natural world, pointing out amazing facts both
from the subatomic world of particles and from the inconceivable
dimensions of the universe. Almost literally, this finger points
out to the Moon. This book deals with a more modest topic: the
evolution of the particle detectors themselves and some changes
they undergo during operation. It is like playing with the box,
instead of with the toy. Or, to complete the adage: as if the fool
were staring at the finger. The author is not completely a fool but
simply a curious person who thought that the research of such
out-of-beaten-track effects today could, hopefully, be applied to
new technology tomorrow.
