Reviews
"Ahmed's book offers the most thorough treatment of the field that this reviewer has encountered so far. After the principles of physics
are introduced in the first chapters, all detector technologies relevant for physics, nuclear engineering, and health physics are treated
in detail. The author's extensive experience with large- and small-scale detector experiments is apparent. Adding to the book's thoroughness
are chapters on radiaion dosimetry and protection as well as one on data acquisition systems, which includes all modern standards used
in the field. Worked examples are interspersed liberally throughout and, together with the chapter problems, make this a good teaching
resource. Extensive bibliographics at chapter ends will satisfy researcher who need to delve deeper into certain subjects. Clearly written
and starting at a level accessible also to undergraduates, this book is for all reader levels in physics and engineering." SUMMING UP:
Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through professionals; two-year technical program students. -- U. Greife, Colorado School
