A multidisciplinary journal linking science and industry
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.
Radiation Physics and Chemistry aims to publish articles with significance to an international audience, containing substantial novelty and contributions to science. We expect that articles present new insight or hypothesis testing, that they focus on radiation effects or applications of ionizing radiation, provide uncertainties and statistical analysis where relevant, and present their findings in context with discussion of past and recent literature. The editors reserve the right to reject, with or without external review, articles which do not meet these criteria. This could include articles which are very similar to previous publications, except that target substrates, materials, analyzed sites or experimental methods have been changed.
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.
