This book provides an introduction of some of the technology and techniques of modern particle physics. Each chapter is a deep dive into the relevant subject, which includes silicon pixel detectors, plastic scintillator in a high radiation environment, Cerenkov detectors, particle jet identification, noble gas neutrino detectors, and machine learning. The target audience is graduate students and more senior researchers who wish to learn a new technology or technique.

The text pedagogical in nature and each chapter is a standalone treatment of a specific topic. The coverage focuses on state-of-the-art techniques, rather than describing the technology's history. Written by acknowledged experts in the subject matter, Instrumentation and Techniques in High Energy Physics, is an important addition to the library of any particle physicist.
