This book, like the first and second editions, addresses the
fundamental principles of interaction between radiation and matter
and the principles of particle detection and detectors in a wide
scope of fields, from low to high energy, including space physics
and medical environment. It provides abundant information about the
processes of electromagnetic and hadronic energy deposition in
matter, detecting systems, performance of detectors and their
optimization.The third edition includes additional material
covering, for instance: mechanisms of energy loss like the inverse
Compton scattering, corrections due to the
Landau-Pomeranchuk-Migdal effect, an extended relativistic
treatment of nucleus-nucleus screened Coulomb scattering, and
transport of charged particles inside the heliosphere. Furthermore,
the displacement damage (NIEL) in semiconductors has been revisited
to account for recent experimental data and more comprehensive
comparisons with results previously obtained.This book will be of
great use to graduate students and final-year undergraduates as a
reference and supplement for courses in particle, astroparticle,
space physics and instrumentation. A part of the book is directed
toward courses in medical physics. The book can also be used by
researchers in experimental particle physics at low, medium, and
high energy who are dealing with instrumentation.
The exploration of the subnuclear world is done through
increasingly complex experiments covering a wide range of energy
and performed in a large variety of environments ranging from
particle accelerators, underground detectors to satellites and the
space laboratory. The achievement of these research programs calls
for novel techniques, new materials and instrumentation to be used
in detectors, often of large scale. Therefore, fundamental physics
is at the forefront of technological advance and also leads to many
applications. Among these, are the progresses from space
experiments whose results allow the understanding of the cosmic
environment, of the origin and evolution of the universe after the
Big Bang.
The exploration of the subnuclear world is done through
increasingly complex experiments covering a wide range of energy
and performed in a large variety of environments ranging from
particle accelerators, underground detectors to satellites and the
space laboratory. Among recent advances one has to indicate, for
instance, first results obtained from space and LHC experiments and
progress done in preparation of the latter experiments upgrades,
including plans for the LHC machine upgrade. The achievement of
these research programs calls for novel techniques, new materials
and instrumentation to be used in detectors, often of large scale.
Therefore, fundamental physics is at the forefront of technological
advance and also leads to many applications. Among these, medical
applications have a particular importance due to health and social
benefits they bring to the public.
The conference was aimed at promoting contacts between scientists
involved in solar-terrestrial physics, space physics, astroparticle
physics and cosmology both from the theoretical and the
experimental approach. The conference was devoted to physics and
physics requirements, survey of theoretical models and performances
of detectors employed (or to be employed) in experiments for
fundamental physics, astroparticle physics, astrophysics research
and space environment - including Earth magnetosphere and
heliosphere and solar-terrestrial physics. Furthermore, cosmic rays
have been used to extent the scientific research experience to
teachers and students with air shower arrays and other techniques.
Presentations included the following subjects: advances in physics
from present and next generation ground and space experiments, dark
matter, double-beta decay, high-energy astrophysics, space
environment, trapped particles, propagation of cosmic rays in the
Earth atmosphere, Heliosphere, Galaxy and broader impact activities
in cosmic rays science. The open and flexible format of the
Conference was conducive to fruitful exchanges of points of view
among participants and permitted the evaluation of the progresses
made and indicated future research directions. The participants
were experienced researchers but also graduate students (MSc and
PhD) and recent postdoctoral fellows.

to high energy, including space physics and the medical
environment. It provides abundant information about the processes
of electromagnetic and hadronic energy deposition in matter,

this second edition, new sections dedicated to the following topics
are included: space and high-energy physics radiation environment,
non-ionizing energy loss (NIEL), displacement damage in silicon
devices and detectors, single event effects, detection of slow and
fast neutrons with silicon detectors, solar cells, pixel detectors,
and additional material for dark matter detectors.This book will
benefit graduate students and final-year undergraduates as a
reference and supplement for courses in particle, astroparticle,
and space physics and instrumentation. A part of it is directed
toward courses in medical physics. The book can also be used by
researchers in experimental particle physics at low, medium, and

The fourth edition of this book has been widely revised. It
includes additional chapters and some sections are complemented
with either new ones or an extension of their content.In this
latest edition a complete treatment of the physics and properties
of semiconductors is presented, covering transport phenomena in
semiconductors, scattering mechanisms, radiation effects and
displacement damages. Furthermore, this edition presents a
comprehensive treatment of the Coulomb scattering on screened
nuclear potentials resulting from electrons, protons, light- and
heavy-ions - ranging from (very) low up to ultra-relativistic
kinetic energies - and allowing one to derive the corresponding
NIEL (non-ionizing energy-loss) doses deposited in any material.The
contents are organized into two parts: Chapters 1 to 7 cover
Particle Interactions and Displacement Damage while the remaining
chapters focus on Radiation Environments and Particle
Detection.This book can serve as reference for graduate students
and final-year undergraduates and also as supplement for courses in
particle, astroparticle, space physics and instrumentation. A
section of the book is directed toward courses in medical physics.
Researchers in experimental particle physics at low, medium, and
high energy who are dealing with instrumentation will also find the
book useful.
