Measurement Of Weak Radioactivity
Theodórsson, P.
This book is intended for scientists engaged in the measurement of weak alpha, beta, and gamma active samples, in health physics, environmental control, nuclear geophysics, tracer work, radiocarbon dating etc. It describes the underlying principles of radiation measurement and the detectors used. It also covers the sources of background, analyzes their effect on the detector and discusses economic ways to reduce the background. The most import...
