      abstract = {This book is about the energy loss and the coherent  radiation emitted by a relativistic charge in matter. These  phenomena locally deposited energy, Cherenkov radiation and  transition radiation are the basis of any charged particle  detector able to discriminate charges by their velocity.  This book describes these phenomena and how they are  related. The fundamental field equations and first  principles are used to derive the spectrum of energy-loss  signals and thence the velocity resolution that can be  achieved. Two specific applications are then followed: the  first shows that this resolution has been achieved in  practice with a multi-particle detector in the course of an  experiment at CERN, and the second shows how, by including  scattering, the technique of ionisation cooling of  accelerator beams may be reliably simulated. The book is  based on a series of lectures given at the University of  Oxford to graduate students in experimental particle  physics. Some knowledge of mathematical physics at an  undergraduate level is assumed, specifically Maxwells  equations and classical optics.},
