Konzepte moderner Sensoren zum Strahlungsnachweis

What it is about

You will learn the physical basics and technical concepts of modern radiation and particle detectors. In the end you will be able to describe the principles of common detection systems (e.g. scintillators, gas detectors, silicon detectors, calorimeters, time- and particle-identification detectors) as well as their interplay for event reconstruction.

What you will be able to do

• Foundations of particle interactions with matter
• Operating principles of scintillators and time-of-flight detectors
• Principles of gas-based detectors
• Structure and mode of operation of silicon detectors
• Modern calorimetry
• Methods for particle detection and time measurement
• Combination of detector information for event reconstruction
• critical information retrieval and evaluation from Fachpublikationen

What the module consists of

• VorlesungConveying the physical foundations, methods and technological realizations
• Übungen / Journal ClubDiscussion of applications and deepening based on publications to strengthen research and argumentative skills

Teaching method

• thematisch strukturierte Vorlesung mit Frageblöckento introduce fundamentals and promote scientific discussion
