Contents:
Section I: Introduction. Basic Knowledge of Radiation. Atoms. Atomic Nucleus. Radioactivity. X-Rays. Interaction of Photons with Matter. Interaction of Electrons with Matter. Interaction of Heavy Charged Particles with Matter. d-Ray, Restricted Stopping Power, and LET. Introduction to Monte Carlo Simulation. Section II: Cross Sections for Interactions of Photons with Matter. Cross Sections for Interactions of Electrons with Water. Cross Sections for Interactions of Low-Energy Protons (<1 MeVu-1) in Water. Cross Sections for Interactions of Low-Energy a-Particles (<2 MeVu-1) in Water. Cross Sections for Interactions of High-Energy Protons (>1 MeVu-1) in Water. Model Calculations Using Track Structure Data of Electrons. Model Calculations Using Track Structure Data of Ions. Section III: Inelastic Scattering of Charged Particles in Condensed Media: A Dielectric Theory Perspective. Section IV: Questions and Problems.
Abstract: Interaction of Radiation with Matter focuses on the physics of the interactions of ionizing radiation in living matter and the Monte Carlo simulation of radiation tracks. Clearly progressing from an elementary level to the state of the art, the text explores the classical physics of track description as well as modern aspects based on condensed matter.
