EXERCISES WITH SOLUTIONS IN RADIATION PHYSICS -...

The textbook begins with exercises related to radioactive sources and decay schemes. The
problems covered include series decay and how to determine the frequency and energy of emitted
particles in disintegrations. The next chapter deals with the interaction of ionizing radiation
including the treatment of photons and charged particles. The main focus is on applications
based on the knowledge of interaction  to be used in subsequent work and courses. The textbook
then examines detectors and measurements  including both counting statistics and properties of
pulse detectors. The chapter that follows is dedicated to dosimetry  which is a major subject
in medical radiation physics. It covers theoretical applications  such as different equilibrium
situations and cavity theories  as well as experimental dosimetry  including ionization
chambers and solid state and liquid dosimeters. A shorter chapter deals with radiobiology 
where different cell survival models are considered. The last chapter concerns radiation
protection and health physics. Both radioecology and radiation shielding calculations are
covered. The textbook includes tables to simplify the solutions of the exercises  but the
reader is mainly referred to important websites for importing necessary data.
