Handbook of Nuclear Spectrometry: (Includes Disc with Computer Programs in BASICA)

The Handbook of Nuclear Spectrometry distills material from many disparate sources and brings widely applicable nuclear spectrometry information into an easily accessible form. The Handbook is divided into two parts. Part I consists of the text which covers such fundamental topics as atomic phenomena, interaction of radiation with matter, and beta-ray, conversion-electron, and gamma-ray spectrometry. To complement the text, Part II is a seriesof practical computer programs provided on an accompanying diskette. Part II is written in Microsoft BASICA and provides the user with a way to modify programs to meet their own specific needs.
The Handbook includes formulae, tables, graphs, and extensive references which make it an invaluable resource for post-graduate nuclear science students, as well as nuclear physicists and chemists.

Key Features
* This text includes, Examples, to give an order-of-magnitude picture of phenomena
* Graphs, for obtaining a quick approximation of a quantity
* References, to Part II (the accompanying computer program) to aid in the use of the codes found in the text
* Comments, to clarify important points
* Simple rules of thumb
* References, to works containing more-detailed information on a given subject
