Broader course for students without practical knowledge of ionizing radiation
The content of this course is part of the advanced physics laboratory course.
Introduction and practical exercises: Detection of ionizing radiation
Joachim Wolf (KIT)
Abstract
The aim of this one-day course is an introduction to radiation measurement technology with various detectors, the handling of radioactive sources, the experimental detection of ionizing radiation in the laboratory, as well as the analysis and interpretation of the measurements. The measurements take place in the nuclear physics laboratory of the exercises for master's students in physics with the equipment used there.
The participants will perform one or more experiments in groups of two.
