Abstract
The last decade has seen substantial progress in the use of solid state detectors, which are now exploited on a large scale in high energy physics experiments for precise positional measurements. This article surveys the major classes of detector and the methods employed to construct them and instrument the large systems presently in use for particle tracking. Some of the most topical areas of current research and an indication of future important applications are described.Keywords
