- Synopsis:
-
The course summarizes the fundamentals of ionizing radiation spectroscopy and its applications. In particular, it deals with the properties and parameters of spectrometric systems for different types of radiation. Furthermore, the use of computational techniques for analyzing spectra, optimized calibration methodologies. They outlined the basic characteristics and parameters of spectrometric systems with semiconductor and scintillation detectors commonly used in practice.
