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.
