Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Practical Measurements in Radio-Activity Although researches into the nature of radio activity have proved one of the most fruitful means of investigating atomic phenomena, a study of the methods employed for making radio active measurements has not yet come to be regarded as an essential part of a course of practical physics or chemistry. This is no doubt to some extent due to a belief that a practical course must necessarily involve the use of large and costly amounts of radio-active material. This is, however, not the case, for it is possible to illustrate most of the principles of radio-activity by experiments made with simple apparatus using quite small quantities of radio-active material. To show how this can be done has been the main object of describing a number of experiments, many of which have been designed by Professor Rutherford as part of the course of practical work in the Honours School of Physics in the Manchester University and as an intro ductory course for students intending to undertake original investigations in radio-activity. It is hoped that this work may do something towards giving the subject a more pro minent position in laboratory courses, and thus teach students the technique of one of the most fascinating branches of modern science.

Download or read book Practical Gamma Ray Spectrometry written by Gordon Gilmore and published by Wiley. This book was released on 1995-05-30 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Gamma-ray spectrometry is a key technique in the study of the decay of radioactive materials. Used by scientists from a wide range of disciplines, problems can be encountered by the inexperienced user because there is a deceptive simplicity in gamma-ray measurements which can hide significant pitfalls. To resolve this situation, the authors of Practical Gamma-Ray Spectrometry have drawn on many years of teaching experience to produce this uniquely practical volume, giving comprehensive coverage of the whole gamma-ray detection and spectrum analysis processes. Discussions of the origin of gamma-rays and the issue of quality assurance in gamma-ray spectrometry are also included. Practical Gamma-Ray Spectrometry is written with the user in mind and has the following benefits: * Mathematics are kept to a minimum throughout. * No previous knowledge of nuclear matters or instrumentation is assumed. * Detectors and their associated electronic systems are discussed. * Fault-finding guide ensures that any problems can be sorted out with the minimum of fuss. Practical Gamma-Ray Spectrometry will enable all those involved with radioactivity measurements to get the most from their equipment. It will also be of great value to teachers and students in departments where radioactivity is studied, such as physics, chemistry, environmental biology, archaeometry and radiochemistry.
