This completely revised and enlarged English edition of the
original Russianbook deals with the identification and
separation of charged particles in high energy physics
experiments. Proportional drift and streamer chambers as
well as ionization measurements with cloud, spark, and
ionization chambers are discussed. Both scientists and
advanced undergraduate students specializing in high energy
or nuclear physics will find useful information for planning
and performing ionization measurements and their analyses.
