商品描述

This textbook presents the principles and methods for the measurement of radioactivity in the environment. In this regard, specific low-level radiation counting and spectrometry or mass spectrometry techniques are discussed, including sources, distribution, levels and dynamics of radioactivity in nature. The author gives an accurate description of the fundamental concepts and laws of radioactivity as well as the different types of detectors and mass spectrometers needed for detection. Special attention is paid to scintillators, semiconductor detectors, and gas ionization detectors. In order to explain radiochemistry, some concepts about chemical separations are introduced as well. The book is meant for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in physics, chemistry or engineering oriented to environmental sciences, and to other disciplines where monitoring of the environment and its management is of great interest.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本教科書介紹了環境中放射性測量的原則和方法。在這方面，討論了特定的低水平輻射計數和光譜或質量光譜技術，包括放射性的來源、分佈、水平和動態。作者準確描述了放射性的基本概念和法則，以及檢測所需的不同類型的探測器和質量光譜儀。特別關注閃爍體、半導體探測器和氣體電離探測器。為了說明放射化學，還介紹了一些有關化學分離的概念。本書適合物理、化學或工程學的研究生和高年級本科生，特別是那些專注於環境科學及其他對環境監測和管理有高度興趣的學科。

作者簡介

Manuel García-León received his PhD degree in Nuclear Physics (1983) from the University of Seville where is Full Professor of Atomic, Molecular and Nuclear Physics since 1997. He has more than 200 publications in international journals, including 4 edited books, mostly on low-level counting techniques and accelerator mass spectrometry applied to the determination of radionuclides in the environment. He has supervised 20 PhD Thesis and 40 Master Thesis. He has been invited as researcher in many Universities and Research Centers (Lund, Uppsala, Helsinki, Vienna, Sendai, Kanazawa, ETH/PSI at Zürich, NIRS at Japan, IAE in China among others). With some 40 years of experience, he has an intensive teaching activity in the University of Seville and other Spanish Universities, mainly on experimental nuclear physics, applied nuclear physics as well as radioactivity and environmental Radioactivity. Currently, he is coordinating a Joint Master Studies Programme in nuclear physics offered by several Spanish Universities and Research Centers. Since 2000 he has been involved in University and Science management activities, being Vice-Dean and Dean of the Faculty of Physics, Vice-Rector for Research of the University of Seville, Director of the National Centre for Accelerators in Spain, Director General for Research and Knowledge Transfer of the regional government of Andalucía, Spain, and Director of the Andalusian Knowledge Agency.
