Radiation detection technology has international attention for its importance in solving issues such as nuclear proliferation, homeland security, and study-ing physics from the grand scale of the cosmos to the diminutive world of subatomic particles. The last decade has produced myriad exciting develop-ments in materials, designs, and data processing. This book examines performance enhancements in ionization chambers for radiation detection applications, suggesting advanced designs to provide new capabilities. High-pressure xenon ionization chambers are the focus of this work, although the techniques discussed are applicable to a broad range of radiation detectors. A new electrode design is proposed, and the reader is walked through an optimization study, position-sensing methodology, and detailed techniques to understand performance limitations and potential im-provements. This book will be of interest to expert scientists and engineers as a pre-sentation of novel techniques, but the content is also valuable as a step-by-step guide for newcomers to the field of radiation detection interested in learning how to design, optimize, and characterize detectors.
