Leo, W R

This book is based on a laboratory course in nuclear physics and treats the experimental techniques and instrumentation most often used in nuclear and particle physics experiments as well as in various other experimental sciences. It provides results, formulae, and informative details on interaction of radiation in matter; radioprotection and radioactive sources; statistics for the interpretation and analysis of data; principles and operation of the main types of detectors (ionization, scintillation and semiconductor detectors); nuclear electronics instrumentation (NIM, CAMAC); and, various systems and techniques for experiments.
