Computing Radiation Dosimetry - Proceedings issued

["SARTORI Enrico" <sartori@nea.fr>]

Dear colleagues



The following publications were recently issued:



COMPUTING RADIATION DOSIMETRY - CRD 2002: Workshop Proceedings - 

Sacavém, Portugal - 22-23 June 2002 (Print Paperback)



"Establishing reliable computational methods and tools for radiation 

dosimetry is of great importance today because of the increased use of 

radiation in a number of areas of science, technology and medical 

applications. Fields concerned include radiation protection, radiation 

shielding, radiation diagnostics and therapy, radiobiology, biophysics 

and radiation detection.



A series of lectures delivered by experts provides the content of these 

workshop proceedings. They are a valuable reference for those wishing to 

better understand the most advanced computational methods in radiation 

dosimetry."

Synopsis



Particle accelerators are used today for an increasing range of 

scientific and technological applications. They are very powerful tools 

for investigating the origin and structure of matter, and for improving 

understanding of the interaction of radiation with materials, including 

the transmutation of nuclides and the beneficial or harmful effects of 

radiation. Particle accelerators are used to identify properties of 

molecules that can be used in pharmacy, for medical diagnosis and 

therapy, and for biophysics studies.



Particle accelerators must be operated in safe ways that protect the 

operators, the population and the environment. New technological and 

research applications give rise to new issues in radiation shielding. 

These workshop proceedings review the state of the art in radiation 

shielding of accelerator facilities and irradiated targets. They also 

evaluate advancements and discuss the additional developments required 

to meet radiation protection needs.
