Radiation detectors

Listing ID #3585432

Nuclear radiation detectors form the backbone of any experimental programme in nuclear physics research. Even in other areas of science and technology where nuclear techniques are used, the radiation detectors play an important role. Very rapid strides are being made in the design and operation of these detectors and detector systems in the various applications. The present monograph while dealing primarily with the general principles of the radiation detectors used in nuclear physics, also covers important developments of the recent years with relevant references to the original literature. After the introductory chapter, the book begins with an account of the basic processes involved in the radiation detection
