Radioisotopes

Catalog description

Studies of the origin of nuclear emissions, properties of nuclear radiation will be discussed. Measurements of their properties such as absorption and attenuation coefficients will be made. Skill in the use of the single and multichannel analyzers will be developed and used in determining nuclear spectra. Reading of current publications in the field will be essential to the essence of this course. An experimental project or paper will be required of all graduate students.
