PEP-4 - Basic Physics for Radiation Detection

Wednesday 09/23/20   2:00 PM - 4:00 PM

Chair(s): Doug Van Cleef, ORNL
 
"This course presents an overview of the basic physics of radiation detection, from the generation of radiation in the decay process to the interaction with detector materials. We will include discussions on the effects of distance, shielding, sample materials, and detector materials and will include ample time for Q&A to allow attendees to address specific applications. We will also touch on emerging technologies for radiation detection. Objective: Upon completion of this course, students will have a solid working foundation for understanding the basic physics of radiation emission and detection. Who should attend: Experienced technologists who need a review of basic radiation physics, or new technologists seeking a brief and practical introduction to the physics principles involved in radiation detection."
