Course content

Students supposed to learn basic techniques of nuclear measurements. They get acquainted with laboratory work applying radiation or „open” radioactive sources. They get impressions on the possibilities of nuclear analytical methods. The laboratory practice involves Mössbauer spectroscopy, neutron activation analysis, work with radioactive chemicals, X-ray absorption and emission techniques, scattering methods.

Assessment method

Practical mark. Short tests to check preliminary preparation, lab reports, final test at the end of semester.

Bibliography

Short syllabi for each measurement containing necessary knowledge and the instructions for the measurement.
