Geometric factors in radiation physics measurements

Creators

  • 1. Bose Inst., Calcutta

Description

Optimization of geometrical factors through symmetry considerations is a powerful means of improving the accuracy of measurements in Radiation Physics. This is illustrated for the cases of spherical and axial symmetries. Design of double scattering fast neutron polarimeters as well as of gamma ray linear polarimeter systems is discussed. Applications of the surface of revolution geometries to various fields is also considered
