Physics
Applied research and developments in radiation physics,
radiation chemistry and radiation processing. Some of the
specific themes could be the following:
Radiation Physics
Fundamental processes in radiation physics
Interaction mechanisms for example scattering and
absorption of photon and particle radiations, attenuation
coefficients, x-ray fluorescence, Cherenkov effect,
polarization, effects of periodic structures (Bragg
diffraction, channelling, parametric x-radiation, etc),
mathematical methods in radiation physics, reference data.
Radiation sources and detectors
For example accelerator and radionuclide spectra and other
properties, radiation fields from point and extended
sources, detector response functions, basic physics of
dosimetry, radiation transport, buildup factors.
Applications of radiation physics in fundamental
research
For example, x-ray,  -ray
and neutrino astronomy and astrophysics, fusion plasma
diagnostics, polycapillary x-ray and neutron optics.
Radiation Chemistry
Ionic and radical species and their measurement
Resultant chemical reactions
Kinetics and reaction constants
Reactivity transfer
Effect of state and dose rate
Spectrophotometry, EPR, conductivity, pulse radiolysis
and other analytical methods
Effect of concentration and additives
Chain reactions
Macromolecular systems
Computation models
Radiation Processing
Radiation Sterilization
Microbiology, toxicology, biocompatibility, validation.
Food irradiation
Microbiological quality, chemical effects, nutrition,
detection, induced radioactivity.
Polymers
Synthesis, polymerization, curing, grafting, crosslinking,
degradation, composites.
Environmental
Effluent gas, waste water, water purification, toxin
reduction, sludge, recycling of wastes. Radiation
effects
Semiconductors, gemstones, crystals, ceramics
Dosimetry and process control
Dosimeter systems, analytical intrumentation, traceability,
environmental influence, measurement uncertainty.
Radiation sources and facilities
Accelerators, gamma sources (60Co.137Cs)
X-ray, safety, shielding.
Accepted papers will be published in a special issue of Physica
Sripta, although publication in other of the
specialized Journals can be considered if the topic is
appropiate.
