The aim of this work is to provide a single point of reference from which a reader with no prior specialist knowledge may gain a deep and comprehensive understanding of all contemporary techniques commonly used in the experimental imaging of particulate and multiphase systems - including both current "standard" techniques and new "bleeding-edge" methods yet to be widely adopted, but which may form the next generation of particle imaging technology.
Volume 2 focuses on nuclear techniques which are typically more complex, more expensive and difficult to set up and require additional background not needed for the other techniques in terms of the underlying physics, the detector systems used and the necessary safety precautions. This volume also includes the "cutting edge" techniques, as well as a discussion of simulation validation, as most of the examples will be drawn from the nuclear category.
