This is the web site for the Advanced Nuclear Science Education Laboratory courses Chm246/446 & Phy245/446. Additional pages are accessible
via the navigation bar on top.
Main data management for participant is maintained in a Twiki site.
Content
Introduction to natural radioactivity, interaction of radiation with matter
Principles of radiation handling and detection
Detection of alpha-, beta-, gamma radiation with specific detectors
Discrete signal processing electronics
Data acquisition with integrated digital signal processing DAQ system
Basic counting statistics, analytical procedures in spectroscopy

Resonant absorption of gamma-rays (Moessbauer effect)
Cosmic ray muons, muon energy deposition and lifetime
Application of neutron activation of materials.
Reference Materials
The
course uses a variety of materials, including published review articles and chapters of textbooks
that will be made available for downloading from the site. Several
reference books are on Reserve in Carlson Library and in the ANSEL lab rooms.
Lecture materials
will be posted on this site. A manual with task definitions for ANSEL experiments is available for download (Manual).
