Analog Electronics for Radiation Detection

This book provides a single source for state-of-the-art information on analog electronics for the readout of radiation detectors. Featuring chapters written by international experts in their respective fields, the text defines the main design parameters of front-end circuitry developed in microelectronics technologies, explains the basis for the use of CMOS image sensors for the detection of charged particles, and describes digital pulse-processing techniques complementary to analog processing. The chapters address a variety of technologies, from analog-to-digital converters, time-to-digital converters, and silicon photomultipliers to 3D interconnects.
