<p>Dear TRIUMF Supervisors, Postdocs, and Students,<br>
</p>
<p>A UBC graduate course on Radiation Detectors (Phys.531) will be
given September to November, 2017
by Prof. Doug Bryman. Visiting students and postdocs are welcome
to register.
<br>
<br>
This course is aimed at graduate students (and advanced
undergraduates)
interested in radiation detectors used in experimental particle,
nuclear and
medical physics, and other applications such as space physics and
condensed
matter (e.g. MuSR). It will cover the basics of the interactions
with matter of
charged particles, gamma rays, and neutrons and the methods used
to detect
these particles. Scintillators, (inorganic crystals, plastics,
fibers), optical
sensors (phototubes, APDs, MPPCs, etc.), solid state detectors and
devices
(e.g. Si strips and pixels, Ge diodes), gas and liquid tracking
detectors (e.g.
MWPCs, TPCs, GEMs, Micro-megas, liquid argon and xenon detectors),
calorimeters, Cerenkov and transition radiation detectors are
among the
topics to be addressed. Applications in high energy, nuclear, and
medical
physics (e.g. SPECT, PET) will be emphasized. Students will
prepare
reports and present seminars on topics of interest in their
research and on
advanced detector developments.
<br>
<br>
More information and an outline of the course are attached. <br>
