Recent recorded grades — Spring 2025: 3.81 GPA, 92.3% A/AB (n=13 letter grades); Fall 2025: 3.80 GPA, 96.0% A/AB (n=25 letter grades); Spring 2026: 3.78 GPA, 88.9% A/AB (n=9 letter grades).

What you’ll be able to do

  • Explain the operational principles of nuclear radiation detectors in the context of how radiation interacts with matter

  • Identify the best choice of detector for a given type of radiation and its limitations

  • Operate basic nuclear counting instrumentation: gas-ionized and solid-state detectors, nuclear instrumentation module, power supplies, signal amplifiers, oscilloscopes, and single- and multi-channel analyzers

  • Estimate experimental uncertainties in counting measurements and calculate errors associated with quantities derived from such measurements

  • Take laboratory notes and prepare clearly written experimental reports
