Lecturer: Dr. Christian Weiser
Time: 4 st., Mo, Di 10-12
Room: SR III
Start: 16.10.2017
Tutorials: 2 st, n.V.
Programme:
In this lecture the principles of particle detection, the basic measurement concepts and technical realisations are presented. After the discussion of individual detector components and detection principles, complete, large-scale detector systems in particle and astro-particle physics are discussed. In addition, some selected applications in medical imaging and other areas are presented.
Topics:
- Basic interactions of charged and neutral particles
- Measurement of ionisation
- Position and momentum measurements
- Time measurements
- Energy measurement in calorimeters
- Particle identification
- Detector systems in particle and astro-particle physics
- Selected applications in other areas
