Official Course Description:
Students
- know about methods for detecting ionizing radiation, starting from basic physics processes to electronic signals, know detector types and applications of nuclear methods in various physics and engineering fields,
- are capable of analyzing detection systems for ionizing radiation, e.g., with regard to possible applications or requirements, of estimating quantitatively important observables, and applying and communicating their knowledge on specific problems,
- and are competent in the independent work on problems with regard to the topics mentioned and capable of selecting suitable detection methods for ionizing radiation for applications.
