DESCRIPTION:
Nuclear engineers will appreciate the nuclear measurement techniques, while biomedical engineers can learn about measuring ionising radiation, the use of accelerators for radiotherapy. What’s more, worked examples, end-of-chapter exercises, and appendices with key constants, properties and relationships supplement the textual material.. For the physicists it is a good introduction to all experimental aspects of nuclear and particle physics. It provides the basic understanding that any student or researcher using such instruments and techniques should have about the subject.After an introduction to the structure of matter at the subatomic scale, it covers the experimental aspects of nuclear and particle physics. Ideally complementing a theoretically-oriented textbook on nuclear physics and/or particle physics, it introduces the reader
comprehensive and diverse Michael C. Walker A really fine book for the student or researcher who is interested in various techniques that can be actually applied in a diversity of research programs and approaches. To wit, the techniques here are not limited to the lofty outer reaches of nuclear physics but are useful in nuclear power engineering and biomedical/radiological engineering research, too. Techniques that are being developed in
Based on a course taught for years to students in both nuclear and biomedical engineering, this book first introduces the structure of matter at the subatomic scale before it covers the experimental aspects of nuclear and particle physics.
