This informative monograph describes the technological evolution of silicon detectors and their impact on high energy particle physics. The author here marshals his own first-hand experience in the development and also the realization of the DELPHI, CDF II and the CMS tracking detector. The basic principles of small strip- and pixel-detectors are presented and also the final large-scale applications. The Evolution of Silicon Detector Technology acquaints readers with the manifold challenges involving the design of sensors and pushing this technology to the limits. The expert will find critical information that is so far only available in various slide presentation scattered over the world wide web. This practical introduction of silicon sensor technology and its day to day life in the lab also offers many examples to illustrate problems and their solutions over several detector generations. The new edition gives a detailed overview of the silicon sensor technology used at the LHC, from basic principles to actual implementation to lessons learned.

This third edition of a well-received monograph provides a comprehensive overview of the state-of-the-art of detectors and their evolution. In addition to the silicon sensor technology described in the second edition, the book covers the following new topics: precise timing detectors (3D sensors and sensors with intrinsic gain layers), passive CMOS sensors, new developments in HV-CMOS sensors, and sparking in strip and pixel detectors. The chapter on the HL-LHC CMS upgrades has been updated, and the historical overview has been enriched with a section on the UA2 SPD pad detector system. The book includes a wealth of schematics and photos of detectors. It is also valuable for detector courses at the master/PhD level.

Les pompes à chaleur (PAC) connaissent un engouement sans précédent. Outre un confort thermique remarquable, elles offrent un rendement énergétique élevé qui permet de réaliser de substantielles économies tout en participant à la lutte contre l'effet de serre. Illustré par de nombreux schémas et exemples, ce livre répond aux questions suivantes : Quel type de PAC choisir ? Qu'est-ce qui distingue un PAC air-eau d'une PAC géothermique ? Qu'est-ce que le COP ? Peut-on relier une PAC à un puits ? Où trouver un foreur compétent ? Est-il possible de remplacer une chaudière au fioul par une PAC ? Quelle est l'incidence d'une PAC sur la ventilation ? Comment peut elle rafraîchir une habitation l'été ? Qu'apporte la mise en place d'un plancher chauffant ? Où installer un chauffe-eau thermodynamique ? Comment planifier l'installation d'une PAC ? Quelles sont les règles et normes à respecter ? Comment bénéficier d'aides financières ? L'ouvrage décrit par le menu les particularités des différents types de pompes à chaleur, explique leur fonctionnement, entre dans le détail de leur couplage éventuel avec d'autres moyens de chauffage (chaudière à combustible, poêle à bois, solaire thermique). Il donne tous les éléments permettant de s'assurer de la qualité d'une installation avant, pendant et après les travaux, que ce soit dans le neuf ou en rénovation.
