Gaseous radiation detectors and scintillators  

Description

LEARNING OUTCOMES Knowledge of radiation detectors and its principle of operation Treatment of the signals Analysis of its performance CONTENT Introduction of the interaction of radiation with matter; this include the processes undergo by a particle traversing a block of matter and its energy loses mechanism. The particles in study are: photons, light charged particles, heavy charged particles and neutrons. Then study of Scintillation mechanism and generation of light by energy deposition in a crystal. This will include the conversion of photons light flash into an electrical signal. Finally similar study will be done for gas-filled detectors and detailed study of detectors developed in house for CERN experiments
