Experiments in Nuclear Science

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Based on experiments performed by hundreds of students, this introductory-level laboratory manual provides hands-on opportunities for developing insights into the origins and properties of nuclear radiations, their interactions with matter, their detection and measurement, and their applications in the physical and life sciences. Appropriate as a stand-alone volume or alongside a textbook such as Introduction to Nuclear Science, each of the 32 exercises includes an overview of the scientific phenomenon, instructions for conducting the experiments, recording and analyzing the data and reporting the results; specific questions relating to the experiments; and several problems relating to the scientific phenomena being investigated.
