Description
Radiation Physics and Chemistry is a multidisciplinary journal that provides a medium for publication
of substantial and original papers, reviews, and technical notes which focus on research and developments in radiation physics, radiation
chemistry and radiation processing. A fuller though not exhaustive list of topics would include:
Radiation Physics
Fundamental
processes in radiation physics
Interaction mechanisms for example scattering and absorption of photon and particle radiations,
attenuation coefficients, x-ray fluorescence, Cherenkov effect, polarization, effects of periodic structures (Bragg diffraction, channelling,
parametric x-radiation, etc), mathematical methods in radiation physics, reference data.
Radiation sources and detectors
For example accelerator and radionuclide spectra and other properties, radiation fields from point and extended sources, detector
response functions, basic physics of dosimetry, radiation transport, buildup factors.
Applications of radiation physics in fundamental
research
For example, x-ray, γ-ray and neutrino astronomy and astrophysics, fusion plasma diagnostics, polycapillary x-ray
and neutron optics.
Radiation Chemistry
Ionic and radical species and their measurement
Resultant chemical
reactions
Kinetics and reaction constants
Reactivity transfer
Effect of state and dose rate
Spectrophotometry, EPR, conductivity, pulse radiolysis and other analytical methods
Effect of concentration and additives
Chain reactions
Macromolecular systems
Computation models
Radiation Processing
Radiation
Sterilization
Microbiology, toxicology, biocompatibility, validation.
Food irradiation
Microbiological quality,
chemical effects, nutrition, detection, induced radioactivity.
Polymers
Synthesis, polymerization, curing, grafting,
crosslinking, degradation, composites.
Environmental
Effluent gas, waste water, water purification, toxin reduction,
sludge, recycling of wastes.
Radiation effects
Semiconductors, gemstones, crystals, ceramics
Dosimetry and
process control
Dosimeter systems, analytical intrumentation, traceability, environmental influence, measurement uncertainty.
Radiation sources and facilities
Accelerators, gamma sources (60Co.137Cs) X-ray, safety, shielding.
