In the nineteenth century a new type of mystic emerged in Catholic
Europe. While cases of stigmatisation had been reported since the
thirteenth century, this era witnessed the development of the
'stigmatic': young women who attracted widespread interest thanks
to the appearance of physical stigmata. To understand the
popularity of these stigmatics we need to regard them as the
'saints' and religious 'celebrities' of their time. With their
'miraculous' bodies, they fit contemporary popular ideas (if not
necessarily those of the Church) of what sanctity was. As knowledge
about them spread via modern media and their fame became
marketable, they developed into religious 'celebrities'.
Pixel detectors are a particularly important class of particle and
radiation detection devices. They have an extremely broad spectrum
of applications, ranging from high-energy physics to the photo
cameras of everyday life. This book is a general purpose
introduction into the fundamental principles of pixel detector
technology and semiconductor-based hybrid pixel devices. Although
these devices were developed for high-energy ionizing particles and
radiation beyond visible light, they are finding new applications
in many other areas. This book will therefore benefit all
scientists and engineers working in any laboratory involved in
developing or using particle detection.
