Quantities for Dosimetry of Ionizing Radiations in Liquid Water

This authoritative sourcebook provides a comprehensive reference for specifying track structure and microdose parameters used in generalized dosimetry of ionizing radiations. Among the 170 tables, the book contains quality parameters recommended by the International Commissions on Radiological Protection and on Radiation Units and Measurements.

The book is structured in three parts. The first part deals with electrons, X-rays and gamma-rays; the second contains data for heavy charged particles ranging from protons to uranium ions; the third addresses neutrons. Each section contains tables of data with illustrative graphs to assist with interpolation. In addition, examples are provided on usage of the tables.
