Radiation detection technology has international attention for its importance in solving issues such as nuclear proliferation, homeland security, and studying physics from the grand scale of the cosmos to the diminutive world of subatomic particles. The last decade has produced myriad exciting developments in materials, designs, and data processing.This book examines performance enhancements in ionization chambers for radiation detection applications, suggesting advanced designs to provide new capabilities. High-pressure xenon ionization chambers are the focus of this work, although the techniques discussed are applicable to a broad range of radiation detectors. A new electrode design is proposed, and the reader is walked through an optimization study, position-sensing methodology, and detailed techniques to understand performance limitations and potential improvements.This book will be of interest to expert scientists and engineers as a presentation of novel techniques, but the content is also valuable as a step-by-step guide for newcomers to the field of radiation detection interested in learning how to design, optimize, and characterize detectors.
