Radiation Detection and Measurementby Glenn F. Knoll |
| A Classic Text on Radiation Detection and
Measurement Now Updated and Expanded Building on the proven success of
this widely-used text, the Third Edition will provide you with a clear
understanding of the methods and instrumentation used in the detection
and measurement of ionizing radiation. It provides in-depth coverage of
the basic principles of radiation detection as well as illustrating
their application in a full set of modern instruments. In addition to a
complete description of well-established detection and spectroscopic
methods, many recently developed approaches are also explored. These
include extensive new discussions of semiconductor detectors with unique
properties, recently developed scintillation materials and
photomultiplier tubes, and several gas-filled detectors of new design.
Many other updates and additions have been made throughout the text and
two appendices have been added. Over 100 new figures and tables have
been included. Key Features of the Third Edition * Every chapter has been updated with extensive addition of new references to relevant articles in the scientific literature. * A number of new detection techniques have been added, strengthening the status of the text as the most comprehensive coverage of the topic to be found in any single book. * The writing style has maintained the readability that has attracted favorable response from readers and reviewers of the earlier editions. * The author uses his extensive research experience in radiation measurements, nuclear instrumentation, and radiation imaging to provide you with an invaluable resource. |
