Radiation detection is important in many fields, and it poses significant challenges for instrument designers. Radiation detection instruments, particularly for nuclear decommissioning and security applications, are required to operate in unknown environments and should detect and characterise radiation fields in real time. This book covers both theory and practice, and it solicits recent advances in radiation detection, with a particular focus on radiation detection instrument design, real-time data processing, radiation simulation and experimental work, robot design, control systems, task planning and radiation shielding.

Technology: general issues --- passive radiation detection --- gamma-ray --- neutron --- illicit trafficking --- national security --- non-proliferation --- ground-penetrating radar --- gamma ray detector --- sensor fusion --- nuclear wastes --- nuclear decommissioning --- radiation detection --- radiological characterisation --- rheology --- rapid prototyping --- radiation sensing technologies --- partial discharges --- scintillations --- air insulation --- photomultiplier --- COTS commercial MAPS --- radiation response --- integral time --- gain --- high-energy α-particle detection --- low voltage --- thick depletion width detectors --- remote-depth profiling --- gamma spectral analysis --- Bayesian inference --- uncertainty estimation --- radioactive nuclear waste --- radiological characterization --- low-resolution detector --- remote depth profiling --- radioisotope identification --- low-level radioactive contaminants --- spectrum-to-dose conversion operator --- G(E) function --- gaussian process regression --- dose rate uncertainty --- real-time dosimetry --- operational quantities --- plastic gamma spectra --- energy broadening correction --- Compton edge reconstruction --- deep learning --- deep autoencoder
