Experimental microdosimetry deals with the measurement of charged
particle energy deposition in tissue equivalent volumes, ranging in
size from nanometres to micrometres. Microdosimetry is employed to
improve our understanding of the relationship between radiation
energy deposition, the resulting biological effects, and the
appropriate quantities to be used in characterizing and quantifying
radiation quality. Although many reviews and contributions to the
field have been published over the past fifty years, this new book
is the first to provide a single, up to date, and easily accessible
account of experimental microdosimetry. This book is designed to be
used in medical, radiation, and health physics courses and by
Master’s and PhD students. In addition to serving as an
introductory text to the field for graduate students, this book
will also be of interest as a teaching and reference resource for
graduate supervisors and established researchers. Drs. Lennart
Lindborg and Anthony Waker have spent a life-time career in
experimental microdosimetry research in academic, industrial and
regulatory environments and have observed the development of the
field from its early days as a recognized discipline; they bring to
this book particular knowledge and experience in the design,
construction, operation and use of tissue equivalent gas ionization
counters and chambers.
