MP 536 Advanced Radiation Detection

Credits: 3
This course covers the principles and mechanisms underlying radiation detection and measurement through the study of radiation interactions, counting statistics and error propagation, and gas-filled, scintillation, and semiconductor detectors for the measurement of alpha, beta, gamma/x-ray, and neutron radiation. Fundamentals are reinforced through the study of the practical aspects of radiation detection and measurement, as applicable to clinical medical physics.
