Aims |
|
To carry out further detailed work on aspects of nuclear instrumentation. |
Learning Outcomes |
|
(LO1) A more detailed knowledge of the uses of nuclear instrumentation with detector systems. |
Syllabus |
|
1 Further topics in the use of nuclear instrumentation based on the knowledge gained in PHYS808 and a detailed survey of the specifications and use of several electronic modules. This will concentrate on finding the optimum instrumentation to solve particular problems (e.g. high counts rate, low background etc). The written report will cover this work and discuss the solution to the instrumentation for the detectors in a laboratory test for a radiation detection system. |
