Reseña del libro "Nuclear Radiation Physics (en Inglés)"
Nuclear Radiation Physics is a comprehensive book written by Ralph Eugene Lapp that provides an in-depth understanding of the fundamental principles of nuclear physics and radiation. The book covers the basic concepts of nuclear physics, including the properties of atomic nuclei, radioactive decay, and nuclear reactions. It also explores the interaction of radiation with matter, radiation detection and measurement, and the biological effects of radiation exposure.The book starts with an introduction to the structure of the atom and the properties of atomic nuclei, followed by a discussion of the types of radioactive decay and the laws governing radioactive decay. It then covers the different types of nuclear reactions, including fission and fusion, and their applications in nuclear power and weapons.The book also discusses the interaction of radiation with matter, including the processes of absorption, scattering, and ionization. It covers the principles of radiation detection and measurement, including the different types of detectors and their applications.Finally, the book explores the biological effects of radiation exposure, including the different types of radiation damage and the principles of radiation protection. It also includes a discussion of the effects of radiation exposure on human health and the environment.Overall, Nuclear Radiation Physics is an essential reference for students and professionals in the fields of nuclear physics, radiation physics, and radiation protection. It provides a comprehensive overview of the fundamental principles of nuclear physics and radiation and their applications in various fields.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
