Brief

This course aims at providing students a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of radiation detection and measurement. Students are expected to demonstrate a knowledge of atomic and nuclear physics, and the capability of identifying mechanisms behind different types of radiation interaction with matter. Principles of the counting statistics, nuclear instruments, and detectors utilized to measure the charged particles, photons, and neutrons will be introduced subsequently.
