Synopsis

This book comprehensively presents the concepts of neutron physics and imaging including neutron properties, neutron matter interaction, neutron imaging, comparison with X-ray and physics and design of neutron sources. It discusses how neutron imaging has gained importance as a powerful non-destructive technique to understand the internal structures of materials/engineered components in wide range of industries by increasing their applicability and efficiency. The book also covers the topics of neutron optics and detectors, basic principles of neutron radiography and tomography, related standards, safety, metrology and regulations in neutron imaging. The book presents applications of neutron imaging in the areas of aerospace industry, nuclear power and manufacturing industry, materials science and engineering, geomechanics, national security, biological, and medical domain. Given its scope, the book will be highly beneficial for postgraduate students, researchers and industry professionals working in the area of engineering and physics, especially non-destructive testing and non-destructive evaluation through neutron imaging.

Dr. Partha S Sarkar is a Scientific Officer in Technical Physics Division at Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Mumbai. He had joined BARC in 2000 after his Masters in Physics from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, India. Subsequently he obtained his PhD (Physics) from the University of Mumbai for his contribution to the field of radiation imaging techniques. He has been involved in developing radiation imaging techniques using X-rays and neutrons for non-destructive testing and evaluation towards nuclear, manufacturing industry, medical and societal applications. He has also been involved in developing systems towards medical imaging and field applications. He is presently involved in developing techniques and systems towards illicit material detection and special nuclear material detection towards nuclear safeguards. He is recipient of Young Applied Scientist and Technologist award from Department of Atomic Energy in the year 2009. He has published around 65 research papers in refereed journals including a book chapter involving Tomography with X-rays and neutrons. He is also a faculty member of Homi Bhabha National Institute (HBNI), Mumbai, as Associate professor in the discipline of Physical sciences.

Dr. Yogesh S Kashyap joined Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Government of India, Mumbai as Scientific officer in 2001, after completing his Masters in Physics from Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, India. Subsequently, he obtained his PhD (Physics) from the University of Mumbai, in the field of phase contrast X-ray and Neutron imaging. He was involved in installation& commissioning of Neutron imaging beamlines at CIRUS and Dhruva research reactor, Trombay and development of various industrial application of compact neutron generators. He has also made significant contribution in the development of X-ray imaging beamline at Indus-2, synchrotron source, India . He has worked on the development of multi-modal phase retrieval methods as a research associate at Diamond Light source, UK and developed in-situ near-field speckle based metrology system for quantification of mirror slope errors. He is recipient of Young Applied Scientist and Technologist award from Department of Atomic Energy in the year 2011 for development of X-ray phase contrast and neutron imaging techniques. He is also a faculty member of Homi Bhabha National Institute (HBNI), Mumbai, as Associate professor in the discipline of Physical sciences. He has contributed two book chapters and published around 90 papers in journal/conference.
