About The Book:
Three-Dimensional Silicon Radiation Sensors by Cinzia Da Vià, Sherwood Parker, and Gian-Franco Dalla Betta is the first comprehensive book dedicated to the rapidly growing field of three-dimensional silicon radiation sensors. These sensors, which are used in high-energy physics experiments like the ATLAS experiment at CERN, are some of the most radiation-hardened devices ever developed.

This book delves into the technical properties, design, fabrication, and application of 3D silicon radiation sensors, exploring their use in cutting-edge research, including neutron detection, medical dosimetry, and space technologies. Key topics include:

• The essential features of silicon particle detectors

• The interactions of radiation with matter

• The effects of radiation damage

• The micro-fabrication processes involved in creating these sensors

Authored by leading experts in the field, including Sherwood Parker (the inventor of the concept of 3D detectors), Cinzia Da Vià (who has contributed to the application of 3D Si technology), and Gian-Franco Dalla Betta (a leading figure in their design and fabrication), this book provides a historical overview of the field while explaining the science and technology in a manner accessible to non-experts.

This book is an invaluable resource for students and researchers working with sensor technologies in high-energy physics, medical physics, and space science.
