Preface
For many years the Landolt-Börnstein—Group I Elementary Particles, Nuclei and Atoms: Vol. 21A (Physics and Methods Theory and Experiments, 2008), Vol. 21B1 (Elementary Particles Detectors for Particles and Radiation. Part 1: Principles and Methods, 2011), Vol. 21B2 (Elementary Particles Detectors for Particles and Radiation. Part 2: Systems and Applications), and Vol. 21C (Elementary Particles Accelerators and Colliders, 2013) has served as a major reference work in the field of high-energy physics. When, not long after the publication of the last volume, open access (OA) became a reality for HEP journals in 2014, discussions between Springer and CERN intensified to find a solution for the “Labö” which would make the content available in the same spirit to readers worldwide. This was helped by the fact that many researchers in the field expresse
