This item is printed on demand - it takes 3-4 days longer - Neuware - This volume constitutes the state-of-the-art in active interrogation, widely recognized as indispensable methods for addressing current and future nuclear security needs. Written by a leading group of science and technology experts, this comprehensive reference presents technologies and systems in the context of the fundamental physics challenges and practical requirements. It compares the features, limitations, technologies, and impact of passive and active measurement techniques;describesradiation sources for active interrogation includingelectron and ion accelerators,intense lasers, andradioisotope-based sources; and it describesradiationdetectors used for active interrogation. Entire chapters are devoted to data acquisition and processing systems, modeling and simulation, data interpretation and algorithms, and a survey of working active measurement systems. Active Interrogation in Nuclear Security is structured to appeal to a range of audiences, including graduate students, active researchers in the field, andpolicy analysts.The first book devoted entirely to active interrogationPresents a focused review of the relevant physicsSurveys available technologyAnalyzes scientific and technology trendsProvides historical and policy context Igor Jovanovicis a Professor of Nuclear Engineering and Radiological Sciences at the University of Michigan and has previously also taught at Penn State University and Purdue University. He received his Ph.D. from University of California, Berkeley and worked as physicist at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Dr. Jovanovic has made numerous contributions to the science and technology of radiation detection, as well as the radiation sources for use in activeinterrogationin nuclear security.He has taught numerous undergraduate and graduate courses in areas that include radiation detection, nuclear physics, and nuclear security.At University of Michigan Dr. Jovanovic is the director of Neutron Science Laboratoryand is also associated with the Center for Ultrafast Optical Science.Anna Ericksonis an Assistant Professor in the Nuclear and Radiological Engineering Program of the G.W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering at Georgia Institute of Technology. Previously, she was a postdoctoral researcher in the Advanced Detectors Group at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. Dr. Erickson received her PhD from Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a focus on radiation detection for active interrogation applications. Her research interests focus on nuclear non-proliferation including antineutrino analysis and non-traditional detector design and characterization. She teaches courses in advanced experimental detection for reactor and nuclear nonproliferation applications, radiation dosimetry and fast reactor analysis. 376 pp. Englisch.
