Description

Assuming a basic knowledge of calculus, differential equations and some atomic physics, this classic bestseller enables students to select the proper detector, analyze the results of counting experiments, and perform radiation measurements following proper health physics procedures. Examples and problems in each chapter ensure that students understand the concepts presented. The book cover long-range alpha detector LRAD, pure geranium detectors, magnetic and electrostatic spectrometers, position-sensitive detectors, the LSL-M2 unfolding code, compensated ion chambers, self-powered neutron detectors, new protection guides, and exposure limits. A solutions manual is available for qualifying instructors.
