Opis

The book deals with all naturally occurring and primary artificial, i.e. anthropogenic radionuclides and their decay properties as well as decay chains and parent/daughter systems (intensity in equilibrium and/or abso-lutes), but also with their most important production mechanisms as well as the specific interaction mechanisms with a measurement system and its detection specific properties. The following list of specific types of radioisotopes briefly and concisely shows which application-related areas are presented in detail in the handbook. All data have been validated by ISuS and are up to date - September 2025 - from the primary metrological databases. All about 365 radioisotopes are include in "Nuclide Boxes" incl. decay & production and its specific properties.Anthropogenic - Activation & fission products- NucMed: -/beta-/Brachy-therapy, Radiosynovectomy, Auger-Electrons, Diagnostic (SPECT, etc.), PET, Bone, Body Dose: Emitted energies per decay- Iodine's, Xe, Te & Isobare decaysActinides - U/Th (n,2n) & (n,Gamma) activation process- Cf/Cm/Pu/Am/Np/U/Th/Pa-production- All four Cf/Cm/Pu decay seriesNaturals - All three natural decay series + Np +Pu- U-238/Th-232/U-235+Np-237+Pu-244- Isotopics: Uranium ratios- Cosmogenic, complementary nuclidesParticle Induced Radiation- Shielding, detector/mounting material- Muon induced radiation- Neutron scattering & capture- Activation isotopes - Fluorescence in shielding materialsCalibration Radioisotopes - Standard & multiphoton sources- Low & high energy isotopes- Beta and CE standard & test sources- Natural intrinsic check sources- Neutron sources as Cf & AmSpectrometry Source-Detection Effects- SE/DE/XE: single/double/x-ray escape- CS/RS: coincidence/random summing- Line broadening (Li-7)- Asymmetric peaks: Ge lattice recoil- Air filter samples: Pb-212 x-ray triplets
