Instruments for modern physics

Presents a brief survey of instruments for physical measurements over the sub-microscopic to cosmic range. For the detection of very small particles, CERN has developed techniques involving cloud chamber, electronic and force interaction techniques. Apparatus has been developed for use in conjunction with the various particle accelerators at CERN, including the proton synchro-cyclotron, proton synchrotron, super proton synchrotron, and intersecting storage rings.
