This authoritative sourcebook provides a comprehensive reference for specifying track structure and microdose parameters used in generalized dosimetry of ionizing radiations. Among the 170 tables, the book contains quality parameters recommended by the International Commissions on Radiological Protection and Radiation Units and Measurements. The book is structured into three parts. The first deals with electrons, Xrays and gamma ions. The second contains data for heavy charged particles ranging from protons to uranium ions. The third addresses neutrons. Each section contains tables or data with illustrative graphs to assist interpolation. In addition, examples are provided on usage of tables. Key Features: * The only comprehensive data sourcebook on track structure and microdose parameters commonly used for specifications of the quality and generalised dosimetry of ionising radiations * Applications are in the field of radiation protection, radiation therapy, radiation chemistry and radiobiology * Quantities tabulated include quality parameters recommended by the International Commissions on Radiological Protection and on Radiation Quantities and Measurements some of which have been adopted into National Legislation * Over 170 tables of data with illustrative graphs to assist with interpolation
