Particle penetration and radiation effects

Emphasizes the theoretical description of fundamental phenomena, and much attention has been given to classics such as Rutherford scattering, the theory of particle stopping as developed by Bohr, Bethe, Bloch and Lindhard, etc. Provides at least one complete derivation of a theoretical description for all central aspects Establishes a unified and appealing notation consistent with present-day standards Satisfies a long-standing need for a textbook suitable for introductory courses on interaction of charged particles with matter for students of physics, chemistry and related fields at the graduate and postgraduate level. In order to make it useful for researchers in materials science, electrical engineering, medical techniques and other application areas in science and engineering Useful appendices added background material that should be familiar to physicists but not necessarily to other researchers in materials science, electrical engineering, and medical physics Includes supplementary material: sn. pub/extras
