? Covers many new materials that are emerging as scintillators that
can achieve energy resolution that is better by a factor of two
compared with traditional materials (Chapters 8 and 10)
? New coverage on the increasing use of digital techniques in the processing of pulses from detectors (Chapters 16, 17, and 18).
? New coverage on ROC curves (Chapter 3)
? Discussion on micropattern gas detectors (Chapter 6).
? New sensors for scintillation light, thick film semiconductors (Chapter 9)
? Revised discussions are also included on
o TLDs and cryogenic spectrometers (Chapter 19),
o radiation backgrounds (Chapter 20), and
o the VME standard added to Appendix A.
