Description:
Radiation Physics and Chemistry is a multidisciplinary journal that provides a medium for publication of substantial and original
papers, reviews, and short communications which focus on research and developments involving
ionizing radiation in
radiation
physics,
radiation chemistry and
radiation processing.
The journal aims to publish papers with significance to
an international audience, containing substantial novelty and scientific impact.
The
Editors reserve the rights to reject, with or without external review, papers that do not meet these criteria. This could
include papers that are very similar to previous publications, only with changed target substrates, employed materials, analyzed sites
and experimental methods, report results without presenting new insights and/or hypothesis testing, or do not focus on the radiation
effects.
A fuller though not exhaustive list of topics that are considered for publication include:
- 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
- • 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
- Radiation Chemistry
- • Ionizing radiation induced ionic and radical reactions
- • Kinetics and mechanism of radiolysis reactions
- • Pulse radiolysis technique and measurements
- •
Nanoparticle production by ionizing radiation
- • Radiation induced chain reactions, polymerization
- • Irradiation
effects on polymers
- • Dose and dose rate effects
- • LET effects on chemical reactions
- • Pollutant
removal by ionizing radiation
- • Computational models on radiation chemical reactions
Papers on photochemistry,
microwave chemistry and thermochemistry are believed to belong to the scope of RPC only if they have strong relevance to radiation chemistry.
EPR papers will only be considered for publication when the method is used for clarifying radiation chemical processes, e.g. by determining
the nature of the transient intermediates. Radiochemistry papers such as tracer technique, radon or other radionuclide measurements,
isotopic constitutions fall outside the scope of the journal.
