Availability Information

We source books from suppliers in Australia and overseas. For books we don't currently have in stock, the time it takes to get them from our suppliers can vary widely - from a few days to a few months - so we check each book with each supplier to determine the expected time it will take to be supplied to us.

Series: Series in Fundamental and Applied Nuclear Physics

The application of nuclear physics methods is now widespread throughout physics and other disciplines such as chemistry, metallurgy, biology, clinical medicine, geology and archaeology. Accelerators, reactors and various instruments which have developed together with nuclear physics have often been found to offer the basis for increasingly productive and more sensitive analytical techniques. This book provides scientists and engineers with a clear understanding of the basic principles of nuclear methods and their potential for application in a wide range of disciplines. The first part of the book covers the major points of basic theory and experimental methods of nuclear physics. The emphasis is on concepts and simple models which still allow a feel for the behaviour of real systems, and on providing good coverage of the subject matter. In the second part of the book the extraordinary possibilities offered by nuclear methods are illustrated through the use of many examples. The Mossbauer effect, slow neutron physics, activation analysis, radiography, nuclear geochronology, channelling effects, nuclear microprobe and many other topics in modern applied nuclear physics are treated in detail. Recent applications such as tomography, the use of short-lived isotopes in clinical diagnoses, nuclear physics in ecology and agriculture are also included. Where alternative non-nuclear analytical techniques are available comparison is made with the relevant nuclear method to enable readers to judge which technique may be most useful for them. The book is completed with a bibliography and an extensive reference list for readers who want to delve deeper into a particular topic.

Reviews for Nuclear Methods in Science and Technology

"""Because of its encyclopedic breadth, but greater depth, this is a book suitable for a fast introduction or a refresher, perhaps to senior undergraduates or anyone whose research might benefit from nuclear methods. … this book certainly has a place in a science library."" -Australian & New Zealand Physicist ""A useful resource."" -Choice"
