Book Description
A triple layer phoswich detector was designed and assembled in the advanced radiation instrumentation lab at Oregon State University. The detector had three scintillation layers: the first one was a BC-400 for beta and conversion electron detection, the second layer was a CsI(Tl) for x-ray and gamma detection, and the third layer was BGO for shielding the CsI(Tl) crystal from background radiation and identifying scattered photons from the CsI(Tl) layer. Digital pulse processing was utilized to analyze pulses at a 200 MHz sampling rate. Pulses were analyzed according to their light decay time. The detector was able to suppress Compton events in low energy spectrum through pulse shape analysis. Suppression factors were calculated at the 90 keV and 250 keV regions in the 137Cs gamma ray spectrum. Compton suppression capability reduced the Compton continuum at 90 keV region, and at 250 keV region by a factor of 56.5%, and 68.3%, respectively.

Book Description
This second open access volume of the handbook series deals with detectors, large experimental facilities and data handling, both for accelerator and non-accelerator based experiments. It also covers applications in medicine and life sciences. A joint CERN-Springer initiative, the "Particle Physics Reference Library" provides revised and updated contributions based on previously published material in the well-known Landolt-Boernstein series on particle physics, accelerators and detectors (volumes 21A, B1,B2,C), which took stock of the field approximately one decade ago. Central to this new initiative is publication under full open access

Book Description
This handbook focuses on residential radon exposure from a public health point of view and provides detailed recommendations on reducing health risks from radon and sound policy options for preventing and mitigating radon exposure. The material in the handbook reflects the epidemiological evidence that indoor radon exposure is responsible for a substantial number of lung cancers in the general population. Information is provided on the selection of devices to measure radon levels and on procedures for the reliable measurement of these levels. Discussed also are control options for radon in new dwellings, radon reduction in existing dwellings as well as assessment of the costs and benefits of different radon prevention and remedial actions. Also covered are radon risk communication strategies and organization of national radon programs.--Publisher's description.
