Description for Radiation and Detectors: Introduction to the Physics of Radiation and Detection Devices
Hardback. Series: Graduate Texts in Physics. Num Pages: 275 pages, 75 black & white illustrations, 50 colour illustrations, biography. BIC Classification: PDDM; PHVD; RNQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 235 x 155. .
This textbook provides an introduction to radiation, the principles of interaction between radiation and matter, and the exploitation of those principles in the design of modern radiation detectors. Both radiation and detectors are given equal attention and their interplay is carefully laid out with few assumptions made about the prior knowledge of the student. Part I is dedicated to radiation, broadly interpreted in terms of energy and type, starting with an overview of particles and forces, an extended review of common natural and man-made sources of radiation, and an introduction to particle accelerators. Particular attention ... Read more
