ADVANCED TECHNOLOGY AND PARTICLE PHYSICS
Proceedings of the 7th International Conference on ICATPP-7
Villa, Olmo, Como, Italy 15 - 19 October 2001

edited by M Barone (Demokritos Laboratory, Greece), E Borchi (INFN & University of Florence, Italy), J Huston (Michigan State University, USA), C Leroy (University of Montreal, Canada), P G Rancoita (INFN, Milan, Italy), P Riboni (ETH-Z, Switzerland) & R Ruchti (University of Notre Dame, USA)

This book features up-to-date technology applications to radiation detection. It synthesises several techniques of and approaches to radiation detection, covering a wide range of applications and addressing a large audience of experts and students.

Many of the talks are in fact reviews of particular topics often not covered in standard books and other conferences, for instance, the medical physics section. To present these medical physics talks is crucial, since a large fraction of the community in medical physics are from the particle physics community. The same feature is true for astroparticle and space physics, which are relatively new fields.

This book is unique in its scope. Except for IEEE, there is no other conference in the world that presents such a wide coverage of advanced technology applied to particle physics. However, unlike IEEE, more room is made in the book for reviews and general talks.
