The Review of Particle Physics (Particle Data Group PDG)

The review of particle physics gives a good and comprehensive summary of accelarators and experiments in the session "Experimental Methods and Colliders". The chapters in this sessions are all worth reading, in particular you should read "Passage of particles through matter" and "Particle detectors at accelerators". You find the review at this link
