The laboratory is designed to explore a number of topics associated with nuclear radiation detection, shielding, nuclear spectroscopy and nuclear properties. Students will get experience of equipment and analytical techniques appropriate for the nuclear sector.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of the module students should be able to:
Function experimentally at level H.
Assemble experiments from their discrete components where appropriate.
Obtain background information, relevant to the experiment, from a variety of sources.
Take and analyse data from these experiments.
Record data in a clear and professional manner.
Interpret the results at the appropriate level.
Communicate the results and analysis of the experiment to the demonstrators and their peers.
Understand and apply a range of radiation techniques and approaches to data acquisition and analysis.
