Radiation detection technology has international attention for its importance in solving issues such as nuclear proliferation, homeland security, and study­ing physics from the grand scale of the cosmos to the diminutive world of subatomic particles. The last decade has produced myriad exciting develop­ments in materials, designs, and data processing.
This book examines performance enhancements in ionization chambers for radiation detection applications, suggesting advanced designs to provide new capabilities. High-pressure xenon ionization chambers are the focus of this work, although the...
