2 Introduction Outline - I will skip the physics motivation! - What are the basic ingredients of relativistic heavy-ion collision experiments? - How have they been developed? Principles of Particle Detection - What needs to be measured? - How to measure them? Some Examples - Mostly, RHIC & LHC experiments February 25-27, 2010 Heavy-Ion Meeting 2
