Interactions of Photons with Matter,er atoms. The chapter starts with definition of parameters used to describe the general aspects of photon interactions with absorber atoms and then continues to a classification of the various modes of photon interaction with absorber atoms, depending upon type of target, type of interaction, and ty

Interactions of Neutrons with Matter,, similarly to photons, a quasi-exponential penetration into an absorber. They deposit energy in absorber through a two-step process: energy transfer to heavy charged particles and energy deposition in the absorber through Coulomb interactions of these charged particles with atoms of the absorber.

Kinetics of Radioactive Decay,ms into a more stable daughter nucleus that may or may not be stable. Discovered in 1896 by Henri Becquerel, radioactive decay is governed by the formalism based on the definition of activity and the radioactive decay constant. The chapter starts with a simple decay of radioactive parent into a stab

Production of Radionuclides,es (radionuclides) are divided into two categories: naturally occurring and man-made or artificially produced. Three models of neutron activation in a nuclear reactor are discussed in this chapter and examples relevant to medical physics are given for each model. The three models are: saturation mod
