Synopsis

A detailed and informative approach to Accelerator and Radiation Physics, this book encompasses topics like radiation shielding design, strategies for hadron therapy accelerators, neutron facilities and laser based accelerators. Alongside this, it covers area like transport and detailed information on planning and design of a very high energy proton accelerator and the various safety issues surrounding radiation, issuing guidance on the prevention and preparedness for radiological emergencies. The different methods for neutron dosimetry including LET based monitoring are also covered with newly measured experimental data on radiation interaction with dyes, polymers, bones and other materials.
