Microdosimetric Response of Physical and Biological Systems to Low- and High-LET Radiations

One of the goals of this book is to focus on the development of biological and physical systems. Special emphasis has been placed on the subject of high ionisation density and irradiation in both biological and physical systems (Scholz - Chapter 1, Horowitz - Chapter 2, Olko - Chapter 3). As well as we wanted to learn about micro and nanodimeter. (Rosenfeld - Chapter 6). The vast number of applications of TLD to radiation dosimetry are not neglected; a special chapter is devoted to the application of TLDs to medical dosimetry applications (Mobit and Kron - Chapter 7) as well as a tutorial. and Sandison - Chapter 5). One of the basic features of the TL and the microdosimetic point of view (Horowitz - Chapter 2 and Olko - Chapter 3). The many puzzles, quaint, quizzical features of the advanced models, explained in straightforward, understandable terms.
