Radiation Detection and Measurement

I used this book for a graduate nuclear instrumentation course. This book is apparently considered the nuc/rad instrumentation bible. Thorough and clear explanations of complex topics. The author has a skill in explaining things with words that makes the overall concepts understandable. Excellent reference.

If you're in nuclear sciences, engineering, or other detector spaces, this is THE reference text. The material covered is still very much applicable to detectors as we use them today (minus some tables, but that's expected). If you need an advanced understanding of how rad detectors work in general this is a great text to work with. There are very few texts that cover both intro and in depth topics. If you're in practice, this is an excellent reference to refresh with.

Delivered in time, perfect state.

This is a great book. It is simple enough for the layman or hobbyist yet it is packed with concise information. It is helpful for lifting the fog of SI units and classical units that cloud the understanding of nuclear physics. I have not finished the book. I read and re-read the first three chapters, each time gaining new information. This is not liberal arts this is real science. You just have to repeat and re-read. What I have read has made the price worthwhile. As I advance more with scintillators and gamma spectroscopy the remaining chapters look to be very helpful.

This is called the radiation detection bible among my lab group. It covers all the main points of radiation detection at a college level. A great reference for anything an undergraduate in nuclear physics or nuclear engineering needs to know. It is written at a level simple enough for any science fan to understand but with a depth that meets the standards for professionals. Each chapter includes citations for those that want to find the information in more detail from its source. Great book, I would recommend it to anyone interested in radiation detection!

Excellent book for a first course in radiation detection/instrumentation, or for self study to gain a greater appreciation for the field in general. Some of the chapters are a bit dense to read, but the book also doubles as a reference manual for later use. You'll find a thorough list of references at the end of each chapter with specific citations made throughout the text. This makes it easy to drill-down into specific topics of interest as you're working toward application of a particular detection method.

Easily repaired with high quality archival library tape.

Still something to be said for a text book in hand to refer to.

Little bit difficult to understand, but overall good book and received before time

As an engineer in the nuclear industry my opinion of this book is very positive. Everything you need to know about radiation detection is explained in a clear manner. Some knowledge about nuclear physics is, I think, required.

La "Bible" en matière de détection de rayonnement. Les détecteurs y sont expliqués via leurs principes physiques, la manière dont l'information est traitée et leur utilisation. Je recommande vivement ce livre à tous les physiciens nucléaires et les ingénieurs en mesure nucléaire.

Für die Bachelorarbeit! Eine Bibel für die Strahlungsmesstechnik. Fand es zum Nachschlagen sehr gut. A weng teuer. Aber sonst einwandfrei

放射線計測に関わる人の必需品と思います。 まだ国内の本はこれには及びません。 書籍が大型なので電子書籍化して欲しいですね。
