The application of nuclear physics methods is now widespread
throughout physics, chemistry, metallurgy, biology, clinical
medicine, geology, and archaeology. Accelerators, reactors, and
various instruments that have developed together with nuclear
physics have often been found to offer the basis for increasingly
productive and more sensitive analytical techniques. Nuclear
Methods in Science and Technology provides scientists and engineers
with a clear understanding of the basic principles of nuclear
methods and their potential for applications 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,
emphasizing concepts and simple models that give a feel for the
behavior of real systems. Using many examples, the second part
illustrates the extraordinary possibilities offered by nuclear
methods. It covers the Mossbauer effect, slow neutron physics,
activation analysis, radiography, nuclear geochronology, channeling
effects, nuclear microprobe, and numerous other topics in modern
applied nuclear physics. The book explores applications such as
tomography, the use of short-lived isotopes in clinical diagnoses,
and nuclear physics in ecology and agriculture. Where alternative
nonnuclear analytical techniques are available, the author compares
the relevant nuclear method, enabling readers to judge which
technique may be most useful for them. Complete with a bibliography
and extensive reference list for readers who want to delve deeper
into a particular topic, this book applies various methods of
nuclear physics to a wide range of disciplines.
