1.1 Passage of radiation through matter
Nuclear radiation is detected by the trace it leaves when it passes through a detector. It is therefore essential to have a good understanding of the main processes by which various types of radiation interact with matter, before tackling the study of their actual detection. This subject is too vast to be covered here, and we will only briefly review
Generally speaking, detectors are only sensitive to charged particles. In the case of neutral particles (neutron or photon), the detector must also convert them into charged particles as efficiently as possible. Charged particles are continuously slowed down by a large...
