Home Page | Suggest a Correction

This page has been created to communicate errors, omissions and alterations to Practical Gamma-Ray Spectrometry (2nd Edition) as soon as they become known to the author. Ultimately, these will be incorporated into subsequent prints of the book.

We would be grateful if readers find any errors - typographical or factual - to communicate these to us as soon as possible. It would help if such reports were in the general format of the notices below. (Use the report form?)
