Structure and Specificity of Gangliosideschapter. The semiconductor detector background components are analyzed to help design detector shielding, as will be described in the following chapters. In the case of Si detectors, shielding is not necessary, which makes them very competitive, as no special facilities are necessary to measure low radioactivity concentration samples.

Environmental Radioactivity,ing on their origin and geochemical behavior, natural radionuclides are preferentially associated with specific compartments. This fact allows us to develop dating tools that are also outlined in the chapter. On the other hand, special attention has been given to the industrial use of some materials

Radiological Impact. Radiation Dosimetry,e human body. They are of paramount importance to determine the injury caused by environmental radioactivity in the population. The radiation dose is defined in terms of the deposited energy in a system per unit mass, and related to that concept, some dosimetry magnitudes are defined to quantify it.

Principles of Radiation Detection: Interaction of Radiation with Matter,chanisms useful for the design of α-, β-, and γ-radiation detectors. The case of neutrons is also studied since they can be used as an analytical tool for the determination of environmental radioactivity (see Chap. .).
