The Physical Principles of Particle Detectors.

Jones, Goronwy Tudor

Physics Teacher, v29 n9 p578-85 Dec 1991

Describes the use of a particle detector, an instrument that records the passage of particles through it, to determine the mass of a particle by measuring the particles momentum, speed, and kinetic energy. An appendix discusses the limits on the impact parameter. (MDH)
