Product Description: These proceedings are broadly of interest to many research areas which utilize low temperature detectors for measurements. These include photon sciences at synchrotron radiation facilities, neutrino physics, nuclear physics, atomic physics, dark matter searches, sub-Kelvin cryogenic refrigeration systems, novel detectors or astrophysics from millimeter wave bolometers, to single photon energy and time resolving from near-infrared to ultraviolet optical detectors, through the highest spectral resolution x-ray and gamma ray detectors, to large mass detectors for dark matter searches...read more

Assuming a basic knowledge of calculus, differential equations and some atomic physics, this classic bestseller enables students to select the proper detector, analyze the results of counting experiments, and perform radiation measurements following proper health physics procedures. Examples and problems in each chapter ensure that students understand the concepts presented. The book cover long-range alpha detector LRAD, pure geranium detectors, magnetic and electrostatic spectrometers, position-sensitive detectors, the LSL-M2 unfolding code, compensated ion chambers, self-powered neutron detectors, new protection guides, and exposure limits. A solutions manual is available for qualifying instructors.
