A Course in &lt;b&gt;Luminescence Measurements and Analyses for Radiation Dosimetry&lt;/b&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;A complete approach to the three key techniques in luminescence dosimetry&lt;/b&gt; &lt;p&gt;In &lt;i&gt;A Course in Luminescence Measurements and Analyses for Radiation Dosimetry,&lt;/i&gt; expert researcher Stephen McKeever delivers a holistic and comprehensive exploration of the three main luminescence techniques used in radiation dosimetry: thermoluminescence, optically stimulated luminescence, and radiophotoluminescence. The author demonstrates how the three techniques are related to one another and how they compare to each other. &lt;p&gt;Throughout, the author’s focus is on pedagogy, including state-of-the-art research only where it is relevant to demonstrate a key principle or where it reveals a critical insight into physical mechanisms. The primary purpose of the book is to teach beginning researchers about the three aforementioned techniques, their similarities and distinctions, and their applications. &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;A Course in Luminescence Measurements and Analyses for Radiation Dosimetry &lt;/i&gt;offers access to a companion website that includes original data sets and problems to be solved by the reader. The book also includes: &lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;A thorough introduction to the field of luminescence applications in radiation dosimetry, including a history of the subject.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Comprehensive explorations of introductory models and kinetics, including the concepts of thermoluminescence, optically stimulated luminescence, and radiophotoluminescence.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Practical discussions of luminescence curve shapes, including the determination of trapping parameters from experimental thermoluminescence and optically stimulated luminescence data.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;In-depth examinations of dose-response functions, superlinearity, supralinearity, and sublinearity, as well as the causes of non-linearity.&lt;/li&gt; &lt;li&gt;Detailed examples with well-known materials.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;A Course in Luminescence Measurements and Analyses for Radiation Dosimetry&lt;/i&gt; is an invaluable guide for undergraduate and graduate students in the field of radiation dosimetry, as well as faculty and professionals in the field.
