Semiconductor Detector Systems by Helmuth Spieler

Micron scale technology has revolutionized semiconductor detectors. Designs covering many square meters with millions of signal channels are now common. Profusely illustrated, this book includes comprehensive discussions of sensors, signal processing, and electronics. Including fine tutorial material, it provides a unique reference in a key area of modern science.
The beauty of this book is that it takes a system approach, which combines the understanding of the physics of semiconductor detectors with the necessary electronicsI believe this book will be the standard reference work on the subject. [...] Spieler is well known as a world expert in this field. As well as being very knowledgeable, he takes great pleasure in communicating his understanding. * Tony Weidberg, University of Oxford *
... a great topic, ... a marvellous teacher. * Chris Damerell, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory *
... nice and thorough, ... a great reference book. * Joseph Incandela, University of California at Santa Barbara *
... could become a classic. * Ken Smith, University of Glasgow *
