The opportunity to present the physics of radioactive processes in
some detail apart from topics such as instrumentation which
conventionally compete with it for spacer is most welcome. The
material is intended to give a fairly complete introduction to
radiation physics to those who which to have more than a
descriptive understanding of the subject. Although it is possible
to work one's way through much of the subject matter without having
any previous physics background, some prior acquaintance with
modern physics is desirable. A familiarity with calculus and
differential equations is also assumed. Volume I begins with a
brief description of classical physics, it's extension to special
relativity and quantum mechanics, and an introduction to basic
atomic and nuclear concepts. A thorough discussion of atomic
structure follows with emphasis on the theory of the multielectron
atom, characteristic X-rays, and the Auger effect. Volume II treats
the subjects of nuclear structure, nuclear decay processes, the
interaction of radiation with matter, and the mathematics of
radioactive decay.
