These phenomena ? locally deposited energy, Cherenkov radiation and transition radiation ? are the basis of any charged particle detector able to discriminate charges by their velocity. This book describes these phenomena and how they are related. The fundamental field equations and first principles are used to derive the spectrum of energy-loss signals and thence the velocity resolution that can be achieved. Two specific applications are then followed: the first shows that this resolution has been achieved in practice with a multi-particle detector in the course of an experiment at CERN, and the second shows how, by including scattering, the technique of ionisation cooling of accelerator beams may be reliably simulated. The book is based on a series of lectures given at the University of Oxford to graduate students in experimental particle physics. Some knowledge of mathematical physics at an undergraduate level is assumed, specifically Maxwell?s equations and classical optics. 410 0$aLecture notes in physics ;$vVolume 1014. 606 $aElectrodynamics 606 $aElectromagnetism 615 0$aElectrodynamics. 615 0$aElectromagnetism. 676 $a537.6 700 $aAllison$b Wade$01192273 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a996517756303316 996 $aThe Flight of a Relativistic Charge in Matter$93071606 997 $aUNISA
