E-raamat: Flight of a Relativistic Charge in Matter: Insights, Calculations and Practical Applications of Classical Electromagnetism

Wade Allison is Professor Emeritus in the Physics Department and a Fellow of Keble College, at the University of Oxford. He studied physics and mathematics at Cambridge and took his DPhil in experimental particle physics at Oxford in 1967. He was elected a Research Lecturer a Christchurch Oxford and a Fellow of the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851. From 1968 to 1970 he held a post-doctoral post at Argonne National Lab., USA. Returning to Oxford, he broadened his experimental work to electronic detectors and their theoretical basis in Electromagnetism. From 1976 to 2008 he held a University Lecturership in Physics at Oxford with a Tutorial Fellowship at Keble College. In 1995 he was Visiting Professor in Physics at University of Minnesota. He also has a deep interest in medical physics and the biological effects of radiation on which he has published three books: Fundamental physics for Probing and Imaging (OUP 2006), Radiation and Reason (2009) and Nuclear isfor Life (2015). He writes on the popular understanding of energy and the prospect of the end of widespread fossil fuel combustion.
