Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The detection of radiation has many vital uses across several key global industries. The ability to measure the amount of radiation, determine its nature, and identify the origins of radioactive materials allows industry operators to better understand complex environments, enables the performance of industrial processes, and ensures operational and public safety.
Uses of radiation detectors are common across the full nuclear fuel cycle and in a variety of industries, including nuclear and offshore energy decommissioning, environmental monitoring, medical physics, non-destructive testing, and the space sector. With the increasing complexity of industrial challenges, there is a need to develop new radiation sensor technologies that push the boundaries of detection and deployment capabilities. This Special Issue aims to bring together this cutting-edge research that advances the field of industrial radiation detection, addressing both methodological innovations and practical applications.
We invite contributions that explore the latest advances in radiation detector research, including but not limited to the following areas: the miniaturisation of sensors; advances in detectors of ionising radiation (alpha, beta, gamma, X-rays, and neutrons); technologies that make use of naturally occurring radiation (muons and neutrinos); industrial deployments of technologies; robotic integration; and enhancements in capability through advanced manufacturing techniques and novel analytics, such as machine learning.
We look forward to receiving your original research articles and reviews that contribute to the ongoing evolution of radiation detection to address complex industrial inspection and monitoring challenges.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Journal of Experimental and Theoretical Analyses is an international peer-reviewed open access quarterly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 1000 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
