Like its predecessors, this third edition addresses the fundamental principles of the interaction between radiation and matter and the principles of particle detection and detectors in a range of fields, from low to high energy, and in space physics and the medical environment. It provides abundant information about the processes of electromagnetic and hadronic energy deposition in matter, detecting systems, and performance and optimization of detectors, with additional information in the third edition. A part of the book is also directed towards courses in medical physics.
