The author demonstrates how the three techniques are related to one another and how they compare to each other. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout, the author’s focus is on pedagogy, including state-of-the-art research only where it is relevant to demonstrate a key principle or where it reveals a critical insight into physical mechanisms. The primary purpose of the book is to teach beginning researchers about the three aforementioned techniques, their similarities and distinctions, and their applications. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA Course in Luminescence Measurements and Analyses for Radiation Dosimetry \u003c\/i\u003eoffers access to a companion website that includes original data sets and problems to be solved by the reader.
