A brief review on the progress on in vivo studies of α-particle radiation effects using zebrafish embryos was given in this chapter. The zebrafish, Danio rerio, a small vertebrate from Southeast Asia, has become a preferred model for studying human disease. The main challenges of these α-particle radiobiological experiments included quantification of alpha-particle dose. In particular, speciall...

Following almost ten years of incubation, solid state radiation detectors have, in recent years, achieved increasing emphasis and use in low energy nuclear physics.1-4 Such detectors depend on the production of free-charge carriers in crystals by the interaction of incident particles with bound electrons. Solid-state detectors are analogues of the well-known gaseous ionization chamber. In an io...

A systematic study of the attenuation electromagnetic radiation in Nuclear Track Detectors (NTDs) is carried out. The gamma-ray, X-ray, UV, visible, and infrared NTDs are investigated using NaI(Tl) detector, Gas Electron Multiplier (GEM) UV-Vis spectrophotometer, FTIR spectrophotometer respectively. values some important parameters (e.g., optical depth, coefficient, etc.) three commercially ava...
