Fundamentals of Ionizing Radiation Dosimetry, 2nd Edition

A new edition of the straightforward presentation of the broad concepts underlying radiological physics and radiation dosimetry. This monograph covers photon and neutron attenuation, radiation and charged particle equilibrium, interactions of photons and charged particles with matter, radiotherapy dosimetry, as well as photographic, calorimetric, chemical, and thermoluminescence dosimetry. It also includes many new derivations, such as Kramers X-ray spectrum, as well as topics that have not been thoroughly analyzed until now, such as broad-beam attenuation and geometrics, and the reciprocity theorem. The subjects are laid out in a logical sequence, making the topics easier for students to follow, and the text is supplemented by numerous diagrams and tables.
