Aims |
|
To carry out further detailed work on aspects of the use of statistics in nuclear counting systems. |
Learning Outcomes |
|
(LO1) A more detailed knowledge of the use of statistics in applications in the nuclear industry. |
Syllabus |
|
1 Further topics in the use of statistical techniques based on the knowledge gained in PHYS809 and a detailed survey of the needs of low background systems. This will concentrate on finding the optimum conditions for determining the minimum detectable activity in a system and on how it can be improved. The written report will cover this work and discuss the solution to the methods that could be used for improving the minimum detectable activity in a particular gamma ray detection system. |
