Product Description: This new edition of the most comprehensive text/reference available on the methods and instrumentation used in the detection of ionizing radiation, has been updated to reflect advances since the first edition came out in 1979. The book retains the general organization of the first edition - all topics of importance are covered in sufficient detail to lead the reader from basic principles to examples of modern applications. It covers modern engineering practice, provides useful design information, and contains an up-to-date and thorough review of the literature. The text is aimed specifically at students of nuclear engineering, physics or health physics instrumentation.
wonderful refence It's a wonderful reference for a practiing medical/healt physicist. It's concise but deep in terms of cotent.
Good overview of the field. This book is a must for anyone working in the field of radiation detection, and contains a clear, readable description of the working principles of quite a lot of detector types. The weaker point is the description of the associated front end (analogue) electronics that goes with those detectors: it is a bit concise.
A good point for starting and for continuing I have used this book for my studies and for working, and it's really beautiful: it starts with basic principles and after few pages you are deep inside the detector, and you start feeling it. The next step is to take an article of Nucl. Instr. Methods and read it.
Question - solutions manual? I believe that there is an accompanying solutions manual for those individuals who will be self-studying. Nothing shows up on the search. How do I obtain the solutions manual?
Excellent book, detailed on the subject matter and readable This is an excellent text and considered the prime source for an detailed overview of it's field.
