Abstract

 Many of the particle detectors developed are gaseous based on ionization. The semiconductor and scintillation detectors are the most typical and cast-off, but other, entirely diverse ideologies have also been functional, like Cerenkov light and transition radiation. Recent detectors in particle physics pool numerous elements in layers much like an onion. The present chapter is aimed to deliberate the significant aspects of G. M. Counter (Geiger-Muller Counters), Wilson cloud chamber, Scintillation counter and a semiconductor detector.
