An Introduction to Radiation Counters and Detectors

چکیده

In short then, this is a book of considerable value, most obviously to psychologists, obstetricians, pediatricians and others who may be called upon to counsel prospective parents, but the enormous range of disorders influenced by the genetic constitution of the host makes it imperative that this book be read as a text in basic medical science. It is encouraging to know that a comprehensive survey of human genetics such as this exists, and it is to be hoped that this neglected field will receive more attention, perhaps as a direct consequence of its presence.

Developing a software for simulation of gaseous detectors with Monte carlo method in c++ programming language

In this paper we consider a gaseous detector and supposed, because of pass of an ionizing radiation, an electron created inside it. By numerical simulation with monte carlo method and concluding the impacts, scatterings and creation of secondary electrons, we find the trajectory of initial and secondary electrons. Dependence of number of secondary electrons to applied electrical field is invest...

Novel concept for neutron detection: proportional counter filled with 10B nanoparticle aerosol

The high neutron detection efficiency, good gamma-ray discrimination and non-toxicity of 3He made of proportional counters filled with this gas the obvious choice for neutron detection, particularly in radiation portal monitors (RPM), used to control the illicit transport of nuclear material, of which neutron detectors are key components. 3He is very rare and during the last decade this gas has...

Comprehensive applications of the gas flow proportional counters for Radiological Surveillance

Gas Flow Proportional Counters (GFPC) have been developed indigenously for various radiation protection applications. These detectors can be fabricated for 2” diameter filter paper sample counting applications to large area (~1500 cm) detectors for surface contamination applications. Thin entrance windows allow nonpenetrating type of radiations like alpha and low energy beta particles. Efficien...
