"DETECTION AND ANALYSIS OF IONISING RADIATION PHYS5036\nAcademic Session: 2023-24\nSchool: School of Physics and Astronomy\nCredits: 10\nLevel: Level 5 (SCQF level 11)\nTypically Offered: Semester 1\nAvailable to Visiting Students: Yes\nShort Description\nThe detection and analysis of ionising radiation is at the core of monitoring and understanding the radiation environment, be it in nuclear facilities or the general environment. The course will provide practical experience in the use of a variety of detection methods, highlighting their respective strength and weaknesses for different applications.\n\nTimetable\nMondays and Fridays 14.00-17.00\n\nExcluded Courses\nNone\n\nCo-requisites\nNone\n\nAssessment\nAssessment\n\nOral interviews of 30 min duration after each experiment and a written report on one of the chosen experiments\n\n \n\nReassessment\n\nIn accordance with the University's Code of Assessment reassessments are normally set for all courses which do not contribute to the honours classifications. For non honours courses, students are offered reassessment in all or any of the components of assessment if the satisfactory (threshold) grade for the overall course is not achieved at the first attempt. This is normally grade D3 for undergraduate students, and grade C3 for postgraduate students. Exceptionally it may not be possible to offer reassessment of some coursework items, in which case the mark achieved at the first attempt will be counted towards the final course grade. Any such exceptions are listed below in this box.\n\nAre reassessment opportunities available for all summative assessments? No\n\nReassessment of the main diet examination is normally available for students on PGT degree programmes if they do not achieve an overall course grade of C3 at their first attempt. Reassessment of the main diet examination is normally available for students on designated BSc degree programmes if they do not achieve an overall course grade of D3 at their first attempt. Reassessment of the main diet examination is not normally available for students on Honours degree programmes.\n\nReassessment is not normally allowed, for practical reasons, for any other assessed components of coursework.\n\nCourse Aims\nThe aims of this course are:\n\na) To familiarise the student with a variety of radiation detection devices\n\nb) To understand the interaction of ionising radiation with matter\n\nc) To evaluate the performance of a radiation detector system\n\nd) To characterise radioactive sources\n\nIntended Learning Outcomes of Course\nBy the end of this course students will be able to:\n\n \n\na) Operate different radiation detectors in a laboratory environment\n\nb) Analyse and evaluate spectroscopic data obtained by radiation detectors\n\nc) Evaluate the operational limits of a selection of relevant detector solutions\n\nd) Explain the effects the environment can have on the spectra recorded\n\ne) Describe aspects of the interaction of radiation with inanimate matter\n\nMinimum Requirement for Award of Credits\nStudents must submit at least 75% by weight of the components (including examinations) of the course's summative assessment.\n\n\nMore information at: https://www.gla.ac.uk/postgraduate/taught/sensorandimagingsystems/?card=course&code=PHYS5036" . .

"The MSc programme in Sensor & Imaging Systems lasts one year and contains a minimum of 180 credits. Students undertake a minimum of:\n\n60 credits at the University of Glasgow (semester 1), and\n60 credits at the University of Edinburgh (semester 2)\nThe remaining 60 credits will take the form of an extended MSc project, carried out on a specific aspect of theoretical, computational or experimental aspect of Sensor and Imaging Systems. Projects will be conducted at Glasgow and/or Edinburgh Universities while embedded within a research group or groups – under the direct supervision of a member of academic staff.\n\nStructure\nThe curriculum undertaken by each student will be flexible, and tailored to the prior experience and expertise of the student, his/her particular research interests and the specific nature of the extended research project topic provisionally identified at the beginning of the MSc programme.\n\nGenerally, however, courses taken in semester 1 will focus on skills, understanding and knowledge in the fundamentals of SIS, while courses taken in semester 2 will provide training in more specialist aspects."@en . . . .

"You will gain an understanding of sensor-based systems applicable to a whole host of markets supported by CENSIS.\n\nCareer opportunities are extensive. Sensor systems are spearheading the next wave of connectivity and intelligence for internet connected devices, underpinning all of the new ‘smart markets’, e.g., grid, cities, transport and mobility, digital healthcare and big data.\n\nYou will graduate with domain-appropriate skills suitable for a range of careers in areas including renewable energy, subsea and marine technologies, defence, automotive engineering, intelligent transport, healthcare, aerospace, manufacturing and process control, consumer electronics, and environmental monitoring.\n\nGlobally, the market for sensor systems is valued at £500Bn with an annual growth rate of 10%. The Scottish sensor systems market is worth £2.6Bn pa. There are over 170 sensor systems companies based in Scotland (SMEs and large companies), employing 16,000 people in high-value jobs including product R&D, design, engineering, manufacturing and field services."@en .
