Osaamistavoitteet

At the end of this course, students will be able to

  • operate various radiation detectors used in nuclear and accelerator-based physics experiments

  • construct measurement and coincidence circuits from modular electronics and use radiation detectors

  • recognise features of spectra from radiation detectors and relate them to the physical processes causing them

  • manipulate the trajectories of ions through a recoil separator and compare observations to ion-optical calculations

  • operate an ISOL-type mass separator and guide an ion beam through the system

  • characterise the composition of thin films of materials using ion-beam techniques

  • identify different radiation environments affecting electronic systems,

  • diagnose the radiation sensitivity of simple electronic components

  • differentiate the radiation induced error types in electronics
