Opis

Covering state-of-the-art advances, novel applications, and future perspectives, this volume presents new directions on the basic studies of charged particle and photon interactions with matter and their applications. It discusses the latest theoretical and experimental studies on the physical, physicochemical, chemical, and biological stages of

Recenzje

I think that PhD students, postgrads and pure physics researchers will get most use from this text, particularly those who have read the earlier 2004 publication. However, I think that some of the chapters covering newer areas of research (e.g. environmental conservation) should provide any reader starting out with a comprehensive introduction with references.
