BookPublisher: Boca Raton, FL : Taylor & Francis, 2012Description: xv, 348 p. : ill. ; 25 cm.ISBN: 9781439853573 (hardback).Subject(s): Particle tracks (Nuclear physics) | Ionizing radiation | Radiobiology | Materials -- Effect of radiation on | MEDICAL / Radiology & Nuclear Medicine | SCIENCE / Energy | SCIENCE / Nuclear PhysicsDDC classification: 539.2 NHI Other classification: MED080000 | SCI024000 | SCI051000 Summary: "Written for students approaching the subject for the first time, this text provides a solid grounding in the physics of the interactions of photons and particles with matter, which is the basis of radiological physics and radiation dosimetry. The authors first present the relevant atomic physics and then describe the interactions, emphasizing practical applications in health/medical physics and radiation biology. They cover such important topics as microdosimetry, interaction of photons with matter, electron energy loss, and dielectric response. Each chapter includes exercises and a summary"-- Provided by publisher.
