It measures the rate and extent of radioactivity from a variety of sources, both natural and artificial, including cosmic ray sources, nuclear reactors, high-energy physics experiments, and more. The resulting data can be essential to environmental monitoring and to a range of experimental sciences. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor years, \u003ci\u003ePractical Gamma-Ray Spectrometry \u003c\/i\u003ehas served as the classic introduction to this area for current or aspiring practitioners. A comprehensive but accessible treatment of the subject, with a thorough discussion of all major classes of detectors and their associated electronic systems, it contains everything a researcher needs to make optimal gamma-ray measurements. Now fully updated to reflect the latest technology and experimental data, it is a must-own for researchers looking to incorporate gamma-ray spectrometry into their scientific practice. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReaders of the third edition of \u003ci\u003ePractical Gamma-Ray Spectrometry\u003c\/i\u003e will also find: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Fault-finding guide for rapid and effective problem resolution\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e Workshop-style approach emphasizing the fundamentals of laboratory practice\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e New sections dealing with novel developments in nuclear structure research, measuring effects of pollution and climate change, new semiconductor detectors, and more\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003ePractical Gamma-Ray Spectrometry \u003c\/i\u003eis ideal for PhD students and practicing gamma-ray spectroscopists, including researchers working on radiation, energy and environmental monitoring professionals, and researchers working in physics, archaeometry, and related subjects.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreface to the Third Edition xix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface to the Second Edition xxi\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePreface to the First Edition xxiii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eInternet Resources Within the Book xxv\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAbout the Website xxvii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1 Radioactive Decay and the Origin of Gamma and X-Radiation 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2 Interactions of Gamma Radiation with Matter 33\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e3 Semiconductor Detectors for Gamma-Ray Spectrometry 52\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e4 Electronics for Gamma-Ray Spectrometry 79\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e5 Statistics of Counting 128\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e6 Resolution: Origins and Control 167\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e7 Spectrometer Calibration 182\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e8 True Coincidence Summing 214\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e9 Computer Analysis of Gamma-Ray Spectra 236\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e10 Scintillation Spectrometry 265\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e11 Low Count-Rate Systems 286\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e12 High Count-Rate Systems 321\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e13 Ensuring Quality in Gamma-Ray Spectrometry 341\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e14 Gamma Spectrometry of Naturally Occurring Radioactive Materials (NORM) 364\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e15 Applications 382\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e16 Choosing and Setting Up a Detector, and Checking Its Specifications 410\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e17 Troubleshooting 434\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix A Sources of Information 449\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix B Gamma- and X-Ray Standards for Detector Calibration 455\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix C X-Rays Routinely Found in Gamma Spectra 465\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix D Gamma-Ray Energies in the Detector Background and the Environment 467\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix E Chemical Names, Symbols and Relative Atomic Masses of the Elements 471\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eGlossary 479\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIndex 497\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Chemistry [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Chemistry\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Chemistry%20%5BPN%5D%22\"\u003ePN\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Wiley","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52165905613080,"sku":"9781119896081","price":101.47,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/files\/9781119896081.jpg?v=1781101801","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/practical-gamma-ray-spectrometry-hardback-9781119896081","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
