English: Diagram showing the classification (type dependencies) of particle detectors: all detectors shown are Hermetic; into which are divided 8 detectors by gaseous ionation:

• Ionization chamber
• Geiger counter → Wire chamber
• Spark chamber
• Proportional counter → (Multi-) Wire chamber, Drift chamber, Time projection chamber

and 7 by solid state:

• Cherenkov detector
• Semiconductor detector → Silicon detectors, Diamond detectors, Germanium detectors. (Cadmium telluride and cadmium zinc telluride detectors, used since at least 1972, ^[1] are not shown)
• Scintillation counter → Time-of-flight detector

Of these 9 are tracking detectors (td), 9 are calorimeters (calori) 5 are both td and calori, 2 are trigger detectors.
