'''Particle detectors''' are the most important tool of [[high energy physics]] [[experiment]]al [[research]]. To detect all the many types of different [[particle]]s at a wide range of different energies, to distinguish them and also [[measure]] their [[energy]] and path ([[momentum]]), many different devices have been invented.

In physics, particle detectors are used in the experimental study of radioactivity, nuclear physics and particle physics; they are also important as a surveillance tool in nuclear safety. Particle detectors may range from the simplest, such as photographic film and Geiger counters, to the most complex used in particle colliders.
