The six chapters are as follows:
- Introduction, including a short history of OSL and details of successful applications
- Theory and Practical Aspects
- Personal Dosimetry
- Space Dosimetry
- Medical Dosimetry
- Other Applications and Concepts, including retrospective and accident dosimetry, environmental monitoring and UV dosimetry
Throughout the book, the underlying theory is discussed on an as-needed basis for a complete understanding of the phenomena, but with an emphasis of the practical applications of the technique. The authors also give background information and relevant key references on each method, inviting the reader to explore deeper into the subject independently.
Postgraduates, researchers, and those involved with radiation dosimetry will find this book particularly useful. The material is both relevant and accessible for both specialists and those new to the field, therefore is fundamental to any academic interested in modern advances of the subject.
