INTRODUCTION
This text should be read in conjunction with the files , devoted to the physical principles of nuclear detector operation, and , which presents the different classes of detectors.
In this dossier, we focus on the four types of particles present in the nuclear industry: alphas (α), electrons (β), photons (X or γ) and neutrons. For each of these particles, we briefly present their origins, their properties in terms of interaction with matter, and the detectors used to detect them.
