OSTI ID:6842106
Fundamentals of Radiation dosimetry is composed of 12 chapters and one appendix. The first chapter deals with the radiation field and defines fundamental quantities, including fluence, energy fluence rate, and mean energy.The second chapter discusses the interactions of ionizing radiations (photons, electrons, neutrons, and charged particles) with matter. Principles and methods for measurement of particle fluence, energy fluence, spectral distributions, absorbed dose, and exposure are described in the next three sections. Relationships between kerma, absorbed dose, and exposure (with the necessary conversion factors) are discussed in chapters 6-8. Various cavity theories are also presented. Chapters 9 and 10 deal with dose determination of photon, electron, and neutron beams, as well as the dosimetry of radionuclides. A discussion of dosimetric methods, including calorimetry, ionometry scintillation detection and chemical thermoluminescence, and photographic dosimetry are presented in chapter 11. The dosimetry of radiation protection is described in chapter 12. (JMT)
