About this Item

Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - This book provides readers an overview of emerging trends in the radiation detection field. Detailed in many of the chapters are specific aspects of radiation detectors, including comprehensive reviews of the historical development, and current state of each topic. The authors particularly cover emerging detection materials and detectors. High-Z materials like CdTe, CZT and GaAs offer the best implementation possibility of direct conversion X-ray detectors and are covered in this book. The authors discuss material challenges, detector operation physics and technology, and readout integrated circuits required to detect signals processes by high-Z sensors. Authors also contrast these emerging technologies with more established ones based on scintillator materials.

About the Author

Krzysztof (Kris) Iniewski is a director of detector architectures and applications at Redlen Technologies Inc., a detector company based in British Columbia, Canada. During his 18 years at Redlen he has managed the development of highly integrated CZT detector products in medical imaging and security applications. Prior to Redlen Kris held various management and academic positions at PMC-Sierra, University of Alberta, SFU, UBC and University of Toronto. Dr. Iniewski has published over 150+ research papers in international journals and conferences. He holds 25+ international patents granted in USA, Canada, France, Germany, and Japan. He wrote and edited 75+ books for Wiley, Cambridge University Press, Mc-Graw Hill, CRC Press and Springer. He is a frequent invited speaker and has consulted for multiple organizations internationally.

Harish Gadey is a Spent Fuel Analyst at the Idaho National Laboratory (INL) specializing in the areas of radiation detection and spent fuel analysis with over 8 years of hands-on experience in Monte Carlo based simulations, spent fuel research, detector development, and systems analysis. Dr. Gadey is proficient in Geant4, MATLAB, Python, and CAD software packages. He has worked on a number of detector development efforts including several projects in the areas of radioxenon noble gas detection. Currently Dr. Gadey is focusing on reactor backend analysis, systems engineering, and spent fuel transportation. He has led and contributed to over 30 publications and conference presentations.
