Author's Notes

Over my career in health physics starting with a US Army CBR unit at Dugway Proving Grounds in 1965 I have needed to quickly find that elusive data point that I just couldn’t remember, even though I knew the information was in one of my several hundred reference books.

So, here it is today, the product of my work to assemble useful field information from a wide range of sources. I must give credit to those individuals who put their efforts into creating the original data. Without their work, this document could not have been assembled.

Spectrum Analysis

Radioactive decay occurs randomly in time, so the measurement of the number of events detected in a given time period is never exact, but represents an average value with some uncertainty. Better average values can be obtained by acquiring data over longer time periods.

Gamma and X-Ray Detection

The choice of a particular detector type for an application depends upon the X-ray or gamma energy range of interest and the application’s resolution and efficiency requirements.

What is Radiation?

Before exploring the various ways that radiation is used in and affects the world around you, it’s important to have a general understanding of what radiation is and how it works on a fundamental level.
