Journal Club: Particle Detectors

Journal Club  (SS2012)  

Erika Garutti (University of Hamburg))

Marco Ramilli (University of Hamburg)

 

  The Journal Club complements the lecture on "The Physics of Particle Detectors".
Modern detector technologies will be discussed on the basis of various publications.
Students will introduce each topic by a short overview (15-20 min.) on the paper to be discussed;
however, all participants should read the provided material in advance.
