دانلود کتاب Atoms, Radiation, and Radiation Protection, Third Edition

Atoms, Radiation, and Radiation Protection offers professionals and advanced students a comprehensive coverage of the major concepts that underlie the origins and transport of ionizing radiation in matter. Understanding atomic structure and the physical mechanisms of radiation interactions is the foundation on which much of the current practice of radiological health protection is based. The work covers the detection and measurement of radiation and the statistical interpretation of the data. The procedures that are used to protect man and the environment from the potential harmful effects of radiation are thoroughly described. Basic principles are illustrated with an abundance of worked examples that exemplify practical applications. Chapters include problem sets (with partial answers) and extensive tables and graphs for continued use as a reference work. This completely revised and enlarged third edition includes thorough updates of the material, including the latest recommendations of the ICRP and NCRP.Content: Chapter 1 About Atomic Physics and Radiation (pages 1–13): Chapter 2 Atomic Structure and Atomic Radiation (pages 15–53): Chapter 3 The Nucleus and Nuclear Radiation (pages 55–82): Chapter 4 Radioactive Decay (pages 83–108): Chapter 5 Interaction of Heavy Charged Particles with Matter (pages 109–137): Chapter 6 Interaction of Electrons with Matter (pages 139–158): Chapter 7 Phenomena Associated with Charged?Particle Tracks (pages 159–172): Chapter 8 Interaction of Photons with Matter (pages 173–208): Chapter 9 Neutrons, Fission, and Criticality (pages 209–239): Chapter 10 Methods of Radiation Detection (pages 241–301): Chapter 11 Statistics (pages 303–360): Chapter 12 Radiation Dosimetry (pages 361–398): Chapter 13 Chemical and Biological Effects of Radiation (pages 399–447): Chapter 14 Radiation?Protection Criteria and Exposure Limits (pages 449–473): Chapter 15 External Radiation Protection (pages 475–510): Chapter 16 Internal Dosimetry and Radiation Protection (pages 511–550):
