About the Book: Nuclear Chemistry: 2nd Edition
About the Book In this 2nd edition, some new topics have been added considering
the syllabus of post graduate courses dealing with Nuclear Chemistry like Shell
model, fission/fusion reaction, natural radioactive equilibrium series, nuclear
reactions carried by various types of accelerators, etc. This book concentrates
on the techniques concerned with the detection and measurement of radioactivity.
In order to appreciate the subject, law of decay of radioactivity, type of
decay, interaction of radiation with matter are dealt with appropriately. It
brings the difference between ionization counter, scintillation counter and
solid state detector. Statistics of counting is also enumerated. This book will
