Labs on Detection and Dosimetry of Ionizing Radiation

Lecturer:

Petr Průša (gar.)

Tutor:

Petr Průša (gar.)

Supervisor:

Department of Dosimetry and Application of Ionizing Radiation

Synopsis:

Subject is focused on work with spectrometric detectors, TL dosemeters, gel dosemeters, ionization chambers, scintillators, radiation sources, and nuclear electronics and software. Practical knowledge about interactions of ionizing radiation and effect caused by radiation in matter should be improved.
