Experimental Techniques in Nuclear Physics

Dieses umfassende Handbuch ist ein wichtiges Nachschlagewerk für viele Forscher, Ingenieure, Studenten und Anwender, die Interesse an den heutigen experimentellen Methoden der Kernphysik haben.

This monograph presents the modern, experimental methods and techniques used today in nuclear physics, each chapter being written by leading experts in their particular field.
The book is a reference for researchers, graduate and postgraduate students and engineers, working in the fields of fundamental nuclear physics and radioactivity, as well as for those interested in medical, environmental and industrial applications of nuclear radiations. The latest developments from research laboratories around the world are presented, together with the basic theoretical principles, which are useful at an introductory level.
