  • Quantities for Dosimetry of Ionizing Radiations in Liquidby D E Watt

    CRC Press 1996; US$ 199.95

    Intended as a reference handbook of quantities used in dosimetry of ionizing radiations in three major sections. more...

  • Computing Radiation Dosimetry - CRD 2002by Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development

    Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development 2004; US$ 109.00

    Establishing reliable computational methods and tools for radiation dosimetry is of great importance today because of the increased use of radiation in a number of areas of science, technology and medical applications. Fields concerned include radiation protection, radiation shielding, radiation diagnostics and therapy, radiobiology, biophysics and radiation detection. more...

  • Microdosimetric Response of Physical and Biological Systems to Low- and High-LET Radiationsby Yigal Horowitz

    Elsevier 2006; US$ 235.00

    One of the aims of this book was to focus the attention of specialists to the diversity of the effects of the ionising radiation on biological and physical systems. Special emphasis has been placed on the exquisite complexities/differences introduced by high ionisation density versus low ionisation density irradiation in both biological and physical systems (Scholz ? Chapter 1, Horowitz ? Chapter 2, Olko ? Chapter 3). As well we wanted to point out the need for novel experimental and theoretical approaches required to advance the important fields of micro and nanodosimetry. Important first steps have already been taken, for example, the accelerated application of semiconductor detectors in their various forms to microdosimetry and as well to... more...

  • Advanced Materials and Techniques for Radiation Dosimetryby Khalil Arshak

    Artech House 2006; US$ 139.00

    Publisher's com The threat of nuclear ''dirty'' bombs, a growing shift to nuclear energy, and new medical therapies using radiation are just some of the current developments bringing new importance to dosimetry ? the detection and measurement of radiation. This comprehensive volume is indispensable to engineers and scientists working in dosimetry to protect the health and safety of radiation workers and the general public. Ranging from basic theory to advance concepts, this complete reference covers the physics of radiation, the biological effects of radiation, and the technology of radiation sensing and measurement. It provides a useful guide to commercially available dosimetry equipment and explains their applications. Surveying current and... more...

  • Handbook of Radioactivity Analysisby Michael F. L'Annunziata

    Elsevier 2003; US$ 290.00

    The book describes the preparation of samples from a wide variety of matrices, assists the investigator or technician in the selection and use of appropriate radiation detector, and presents the latest state-of-the-art computerized and automated methods of analysis. Fundamentals of radioactivity properties, radionuclide decay, calculations involved, and methods of detection provide the basis for a thorough understanding of the analytical procedures. Therefore, the new Handbook of Radioactivity Analysis is also suitable as a teaching text for university and professional training courses. Key Features: • New much expanded and updated edition with three additional chapters • Provides modern procedures and guidelines for the analysis... more...

  • Radioactivityby Michael F. L'Annunziata

    Elsevier 2007; US$ 113.00

    Radioactivity: Introduction and Early History provides an introduction to radioactivity from natural and artificial sources on earth and radiation of cosmic origins. This book answers many questions for the layperson, student, teacher, and even practitioner as to the origins, properties, detection and measurement, and applications of radioactivity. Written at a level that most laypersons can appreciate, it includes many calculations that students and teachers may use in class work. Radioactivity: Introduction and Early History also serves as a refresher for experienced practitioners who use radioactive sources in his or her field of work. Also included are historical accounts of the major achievements of many famous pioneers and Nobel Laureates... more...

  • Optically Stimulated Luminescence Dosimetryby L. Boetter-Jensen; S.W.S. McKeever; A.G. Wintle

    Elsevier 2003; US$ 235.00

    Optically Stimulated Luminescence (OSL) has become the technique of choice for many areas of radiation dosimetry. The technique is finding widespread application in a variety of radiation dosimetry fields, including personal monitoring, environmental monitoring, retrospective dosimetry (including geological dating and accident dosimetry), space dosimetry, and many more. In this book we have attempted to synthesize the major advances in the field, covering both fundamental understanding and the many applications. The latter serve to demonstrate the success and popularity of OSL as a dosimetry method. The book is designed for researchers and radiation dosimetry practitioners alike. It delves into the detailed theory of the process from the... more...

  • Physics and Engineering of Radiation Detectionby Syed Naeem Ahmed

    Elsevier 2007; US$ 108.00

    This book presents an overview of the physics of radiation detection and its applications. It covers the origins and properties of different kinds of ionizing radiation, their detection and measurement, and the procedures used to protect people and the environment from their potentially harmful effects. It details the experimental techniques and instrumentation used in different detection systems in a very practical way without sacrificing the physics content. It provides useful formulae and explains methodologies to solve problems related to radiation measurements. With abundance of worked-out examples and end-of-chapter problems, this book enables the reader to understand the underlying physical principles and their applications. Detailed... more...
