Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with the basics of nuclear and radiation physics and dosimetry.
Students will acquire an overview of the methods of detection and measurement of ionizing radiation in different conditions. At the end of the course, they solve basic numerical tasks related to radioactivity and dosimetry, know quantities and units used in nuclear physics, distinguish the different types of ionizing radiation and their interactions.
