This course offers a fast-paced review of the basic principles of gamma spectroscopic analysis.The course includes a review of the nature and origins of gamma-emitting radioactivity, basic physics of gamma interac¬tion with matter, consequences of gamma interactions on gamma spectra, gamma spectroscopy system com¬ponents and calibrations, gamma spectroscopy analy¬sis methods, and interpretation of gamma spectroscopy data.The course is two hours in duration and the American Academy of Health Physics will grant 4 Continuing Education Credits for completion.
Objective: Upon completion of this course, students will have a working knowledge of radioactive decay schemes, radiation emissions, gamma radiation detection, and the principles of the laboratory gamma spectroscopy process.
Noncredit courses do not produce academic credit nor appear on a Colorado State University academic transcript.
