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 including radiation monitoring, shielding, and comprehensive experiment planning from beam and detector choices to target design and feasibility checks.
