Interaction of Radiation with Matter Detectors Accelerators Linear Accelerators Circular Accelerator Radioactivity Nuclear Reactors Fusion Reactors Nuclear Methods Mass Spectrometry Ion Beam Methods Hyperfine Interactions
Learning Outcome
After the course the students have acquired a deeper knowledge and unterstanding of the tools and the methods that originate from nuclear research and are used in other fields of science, as there are elementary particle physics, solid state physics, biophysics, energy production on to cultural sciences. The lecture is accompanied by exercises with the main emphasis on practical contact with the available tools.
Preconditions
No preconditions in addition to the requirements for the Master’s program in Physics.

Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
In an oral exam the learning outcome is tested using comprehension questions and sample problems.
In accordance with §12 (8) APSO the exam can be done as a written test. In this case the time duration is 60 minutes.
Remarks on associated module exams
The exam for this module can be taken together with the exam to the associated follow-up module PH2098: Nuclear Physics Methods in Interdisciplinary Research 2 / Anwendungen kernphysikalischer Methoden in der interdisziplinären Forschung 2 after the follwoing semester. In this case you need to register for both exams in the following semester.
Exam Repetition
The exam may be repeated at the end of the semester. There is a possibility to take the exam in the following semester.
