The application of X-rays to objects of archaeology and the attempt to gain insight into both construction and chemical composition in a non-destructive manner date back to the days of the discovery of radiation.
An introduction to high-energy physics that prepares students to understand the experimental frontierThe new experiments underway at the Large Hadron Collider at CERN in Switzerland may significantly change our understanding of elementary particle physics and, indeed, the universe.
Expanding on the highly successful previous two editions, this third edition of Proton Therapy Physics has been updated throughout and includes several new chapters on "e;Adaptive Proton Therapy,"e; "e;Imaging for Planning,"e; "e;Flash Proton Therapy,"e; and "e;Outcome Modeling for Patient Selection.
Choice Recommended Title, July 2020Bringing together material scattered across many disciplines, Semiconductor Radiation Detectors provides readers with a consolidated source of information on the properties of a wide range of semiconductors; their growth, characterization and the fabrication of radiation sensors with emphasis on the X- and gamma-ray regimes.
