Radiation Interaction 7.5 credits
About the course
The course starts with a description of the kinematics of photons with matter. The cross section of the processes and their dependent on photon energy, atomic number and density are described in detail. Moreover, a description of charged particle interaction processes, Bethe-Blocks mass stopping power, energy losses in the form of bremsstrahlung cross sections and parameter dependent. The course also includes the principle function of neutrons and X-ray interaction. An Introduction to Monte-Carlo technique applied to ionizing radiation interactions are included.
The course also includes mandatory laboratory work.
The course comprises three modules
1. Theoretical part, 2.5 credits
2. Calculation part, 2.5 credits
3. Laboratory work, 2.5 credits
