Informazioni di Neutron Physics And Neutron Instrumentation

Dipartimento: Scienze Matematiche, Fisiche E Naturali
Settore Ministeriale: FIS/03
Codice di verbalizzazione: 8066818
Metodi di insegnamento: Frontale
Metodi di valutazione: Orale
Prerequisiti: Basic notions of condensed matter and quantum theory.
Obiettivi: The course aims to provide students with advanced training in neutron production and detection techniques, their interaction with condensed and nuclear matter, and related applications ranging from investigations of condensed matter, biology, medicine, materials science, and the aerospace industry. The objective is to develop an understanding of neutron-matter interaction as a multiscale process that draws on the physics of condensed matter, on one hand, and nuclei, on the other hand, as limiting cases of a single approach. The course focuses on the modelling and interpretation of neutron cross sections from meV (thermal) energies to MeV (fast) energies. Finally, the course aims to present experimental applications ranging from non-invasive characterizations of cultural heritage, neutron radiography and tomography, aspects of radiation protection, medical physics and neutron capture therapy, and neutron moderators in nuclear fusion and fission power plants.
Ricevimento: Martedi' e giovedi', dalle 13:30 alle 14:30. Si prega di scrivere una email preventivamente.
