Interaction of Radiation with Matter: from Theory to Measurements

Understanding and predicting the outcomes of particle-matter interactions is critical for designing and optimizing particle detector performance.

The information contained in this book will provide the reader with a practical guide to understanding and interpreting this process, with special emphasis on silicon layers.

This book is the result of several years of research on interaction processes and experimental tests carried out by the author at the Italian Institute of Nuclear Physics (INFN) and at the European Council for Nuclear Research (CERN).
