The silicon microstrip detector
Article Abstract:
The silicon microstrip detector played a crucial role in the discovery of the top quark. Capable of measuring particle positions to less than 10 microns, this instrument holds great promise for applications ranging from fundamental particle physics research to neurophysiology.
