E-Books →Practical Gamma–ray Spectrometry, 3rd Edition

The cutting-edge new edition of the classic introduction to radioactive measurement
Gammy-Ray Spectrometry is a key technique in the study of radioactive decay. It measures the rate and extent of radioactivity from a variety of sources, both natural and artificial, including cosmic ray sources, nuclear reactors, high-energy physics experiments, and more. The resulting data can be essential to environmental monitoring and to a range of experimental sciences.
For years,Practical Gamma-Ray Spectrometryhas served as the classic introduction to this area for current or aspiring practitioners. A comprehensive but accessible treatment of the subject, with a thorough discussion of all major classes of detectors and their associated electronic systems, it contains everything a researcher needs to make optimal gamma-ray measurements. Now fully updated to reflect the latest technology and experimental data, it is a must-own for researchers looking to incorporate gamma-ray spectrometry into their scientific practice.
Readers of the third edition ofPractical Gamma-Ray Spectrometrywill also find:
Fault-finding guide for rapid and effective problem resolutionWorkshop-style approach emphasizing the fundamentals of laboratory practiceNew sections dealing with novel developments in nuclear structure research, measuring effects of pollution and climate change, new semiconductor detectors, and more
Practical Gamma-Ray Spectrometryis ideal for PhD students and practicing gamma-ray spectroscopists, including researchers working on radiation, energy and environmental monitoring professionals, and researchers working in physics, archaeometry, and related subjects.
