What will I learn?
This course equips you with practical tools to design and analyse small laboratory nuclear experiments confidently. Master core reaction notation, Q-value calculations, cross sections, and non-relativistic kinematics, applying them via key nuclear data repositories. Additionally, learn essential safety protocols, radiation monitoring, shielding techniques, and comprehensive experiment planning, including beam and detector choices, target design, and feasibility evaluation.
