Mass growth of large PWO4 single crystals for particle detection in high-energy physics experiments at CERN

A unique book describing the develoment of systems for mass production of lead tungstate crystals for high-energy physics experiments at CERN, Geneva. The properties of the crystals, characteristics of growth equipment and, in particular, quality control of described are described in detail. The book will be of considerable interest to crystal growth experts and scientists working in the area of high-energy physics.
