Radiation detection principles

Abstract

As noted in Chapter 1, a background in analytical chemistry is essential to the practice of radioanalytical chemistry. The parallels between the two fields will become evident as analytical and radioanalytical chemistry principles are covered in Chapters 3 and 4, and culminate in the discussion of applied radioanalytical chemistry in Chapter 6. However, the theoretical underpinnings of the two disciplines are markedly different. © 2007 Springer.
