Radiation Detection and Measurement 4th Edition by Glenn F. Knoll | (PDF) Free Download

Description

Known for its comprehensive coverage and up-to-date literature citations, this classic text provides students and instructors with the most complete coverage available of radiation detection and measurement. Over the decade that has passed since the publication of the 3rd edition, technical developments continue to enhance the instruments and techniques available for the detection and spectroscopy of ionizing radiation. The Fourth Edition of this invaluable resource incorporates the latest developments and cutting-edge technologies to make this the most up-to-date guide to the field available:? Covers many new materials that are emerging as scintillators that can achieve energy resolution that is better by a factor of two compared with traditional materials? Presents new material on ROC curves, micropattern gas detectors, new sensors for scintillation light, thick film semiconductors, and digital techniques in detector pulse processing? Includes updated discussions on TLDs, neutron detectors, cryogenic spectrometers, radiation backgrounds, and the VME instrumentation standard

Editorial Reviews: About the Author GLENN FREDERICK KNOLL is Professor of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences in the College of Engineering at the University of Michigan. Following his undergraduate education at Case Institute of Technology, he earned a Master’s degree from Stanford University and a doctorate in Nuclear Engineering from the University of Michigan. During his graduate work, he held national fellowships from the Atomic Energy Commission and the National Science Foundation.He joined the Michigan faculty in 1962, and served as Chairman of the Department of Nuclear Engineering from 1979 to 1990 and as Interim Dean of the College of Engineering from 1995-96. He held appointments as Visiting Scientist at the Nuclear Research Center in Karlsruhe, Germany and as Senior Fellow in the Department of Physics at the University of Surrey, U.K. His research interest have centered on radiation measurements, nuclear instrumentation, and radiation imaging. He is author or co-author of over 140 technical publications, 8 patents, and 2 textbooks.He has been elected a Fellow of the American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering, the American Nuclear Society, and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. He has been selected to receive three national awards given annually to a single recipient for achievements in engineering and education: the 1979 Glenn Murphy Award from the American Society for Engineering Education, the 1991 Arthur Holly Compton Award of the American Nuclear Society, and the 1996 Merit Award of the IEEE/Nuclear and Plasma Sciences Society. He is one of five receiving editors of Nuclear Instruments and Methods in Physics Research, Part A, and a past or present member of the Editorial Boards for Nuclear Science and Engineering, IEEE Transaction on Medical Imaging, and Physica Medica. In 1999, he was elected to membership in the National Academy of Engineering. He has served as consultant to 25 industrial and government organizations in technical areas related to radiation measurements, and is a Registered Professional Engineer in the State of Michigan.

Reviews from Amazon users which were colected at the time this book was published on the website:

⭐This is a great reference book for students and professionals working in nuclear areas.

⭐This is a great book. It is simple enough for the layman or hobbyist yet it is packed with concise information. It is helpful for lifting the fog of SI units and classical units that cloud the understanding of nuclear physics. I have not finished the book. I read and re-read the first three chapters, each time gaining new information. This is not liberal arts this is real science. You just have to repeat and re-read. What I have read has made the price worthwhile. As I advance more with scintillators and gamma spectroscopy the remaining chapters look to be very helpful.

⭐It was in terrible condition when I received it. The cover was falling off the spine.

⭐This is called the radiation detection bible among my lab group. It covers all the main points of radiation detection at a college level. A great reference for anything an undergraduate in nuclear physics or nuclear engineering needs to know. It is written at a level simple enough for any science fan to understand but with a depth that meets the standards for professionals. Each chapter includes citations for those that want to find the information in more detail from its source. Great book, I would recommend it to anyone interested in radiation detection!

⭐Excellent book for a first course in radiation detection/instrumentation, or for self study to gain a greater appreciation for the field in general. Some of the chapters are a bit dense to read, but the book also doubles as a reference manual for later use. You’ll find a thorough list of references at the end of each chapter with specific citations made throughout the text. This makes it easy to drill-down into specific topics of interest as you’re working toward application of a particular detection method.

⭐When I told my dad I was going to grad school for nuclear engineering, he gifted me his first edition copy of Knoll from the 70s/80s. I had to order the 4th edition due to several updates, and they both sit happily next to each other on my shelf.As other reviewers said, this book is indispensable. I spend more time with it than I do with my boyfriend. If you’re in physics, health physics, or nuclear engineering and contemplating renting this or borrowing from a friend, strongly consider just buying your own copy, you’ll come back to it for reference time and time again.

⭐Easily repaired with high quality archival library tape.

⭐My teacher said something about this being the best reference for detector stuff; he’s the radiation protection officer or whatever they call that at my school. Anyway, if you need it for a class, I’d advise just buying it – it’s got a lot of info that you almost definitely will find useful for later classes.

⭐this book, now in its 4th edition (2010), is a must have for everyone dealing with radiation detection and measurement or nuclear/particle physics experiments

⭐Exactly what I needed would thoroughly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in studying radiation Metrology. A true master!!!

⭐As an engineer in the nuclear industry my opinion of this book is very positive. Everything you need to know about radiation detection is explained in a clear manner. Some knowledge about nuclear physics is, I think, required.

⭐Very good

⭐i just need it for my msc . it is very specific and describe a lot of lABORATORY details.not for general theriticfal reading
