| knoll radiation detection and measurement 4th edition: Techniques for Nuclear and Particle Physics Experiments William R. Leo, 2012-12-06 Not quite six years have passed since the appearance of the first edition of this book. This is not a long period. Yet the rapid pace of scientific and technological development today is such that any book on experimental technique must be wary of becoming ob solete in some way or another even in such a short span of time. Thus, when the publisher Springer-Verlag informed me of the need for a new printing of this book, I decided it was an opportune moment to update some of the chapters as well as to include some new material. The result is this second edition. The most notable changes have been in Chapters 2 and 3. In the latter, which con cerns radiation protection, most of the sections have been rewritten to take into account the new recommendations from the International Commission on Radiation Protection, the most important of which are the new dose limits for exposure to ionizing radiation. In addition, emphasis has now been put on the use of SI units in dosimetry, i.e., the Gray and Sievert, which have now become standard. |

Hemingway, 1995-05-30 Gamma-ray spectrometry is a key technique in the study of the decay of radioactive materials. Used by scientists from a wide range of disciplines, problems can be encountered by the inexperienced user because there is a deceptive simplicity in gamma-ray measurements which can hide significant pitfalls. To resolve this situation, the authors of Practical Gamma-Ray Spectrometry have drawn on many years of teaching experience to produce this uniquely practical volume, giving comprehensive coverage of the whole gamma-ray detection and spectrum analysis processes. Discussions of the origin of gamma-rays and the issue of quality assurance in gamma-ray spectrometry are also included.

The devastation that nuclear weapons can cause poses a major threat to all of humanity, and being aware of this threat is critically important for developing peaceful solutions. Today, the threat of some countries using nuclear weapons is one of the greatest dangers facing the world. While the peaceful use of nuclear technology offers sustainable solutions to energy crises, the proliferation of nuclear weapons and the risk of a potential nuclear conflict threaten global security. We hope that the book NUCLEAR: From Energy to Weapon will be a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the complexity and multifaceted nature of nuclear energy. This work aims to contribute to raising awareness for the safer and more sustainable use of nuclear energy.
