Nuclear Instrumentation and Measurement

MANE-4350

Nuclear instrumentation and radiation detector systems for the collection, processing and displaying of signals related to photons, electrons, alpha particles, and neutrons. Topics include: radiation interactions, counting statistics, ionization chambers, proportional counters, Geiger counters, scintillators, gamma-ray spectroscopy, semiconductor detectors, slow and fast neutron detection, liquid scintillation and TLD, and background and shielding. Students will tour a 100-MeV electron accelerator facility and learn to use MCNP code to simulate an HPGe gamma spectrometer.
