The goal of this course is to obtain fundamental knowledge on the techniques and technology used to produce and detect radiation. The course consists of 2 separate parts: Partim Interaction of radiation with matter and radiation detectors • Radiation interactions: Interaction of heavy charged particles, Interaction of electrons and • positrons, Interaction of photons, Interaction of neutrons • Radiation detectors and their applications: General properties of radiation detectors, Gas- • filled detectors, Scintillaton detectors, Semi conductor detectors, Cherenkov detectors, • Neutron detection, Pulse processing Partim Particle Accelerators • Particle accelerators: Particle optics, Particle optics elements, Electrostatic and induction • accelerators, Linear high frequency accelerators, Circular high frequency accelerators, • Secundary beam production, Applications of accelerators.
