    Reflecting recent innovations in heavy ion detection systems, this volume presents the state of the art in these systems and discusses plans and techniques for new instrumentation to explore the newest frontier of heavy ion science—relativistic heavy ions. Covers mass detectors, the GSI magnetic spectrometer, the Berkeley high resolution ball, and detectors for high energy heavy ion colliders.
