Autor

Dr. N.J. Carron received his B.S. in physics from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana. After a post-doctoral appointment at Rice University Department of Physics, he joined the staff of Mission Research Corporation in Santa Barbara, California, where he has remained for more than 30 years.

During that time he has contributed to many programs, largely in electromagnetics and applied nuclear and plasma physics, including spacecraft radiation shielding, neutron and gamma ray detectors, relativistic electron beam propagation in air, intense laser propagation in air and laser-target interaction physics, air hydrodynamics, and others. He is an EMP fellow of the Summa Foundation, for his contributions to understanding system generated EMP environments. The present book grew out of frustration at not being able to find readily available, digestible information and reliable data on the penetration of particles through matter. It is the book he wishes he had on his shelves 30 years ago.
