  • Abstract
    The introduction of silicon chips in particle physics experiments went by steps. In this summary of an article to be printed in full in the Fall News, Erik Heijne of CERN, the elementary particle accelerator laboratory in Geneva, Switzerland, traces some of the history of silicon detectors and readout chips for tracking detectors that form the inner shells of the equipment.
