Links to the writeups for the experiments can be found here. Labs 0, 1, and 2 are required for all students. Subsequent labs are subject to time and equipment constraints.
Required
- Lab 0: HPGe Energy Calibration
- Lab 1: Digital Signal Processing for Gamma-Ray Spectroscopy in HPGe
- Lab 2: Digital Signal Processing for Pulse Shape Analysis and Timing in HPGe
Rotating
As mentioned, we have neither the time nor the equipment to allow every student to conduct each lab. The writeups in this section are provided to expose students to some of the possible options for lab 3, or to provide inspiration for final project proposals.
- Lab 3: Digital Signal Processing in LaBr Detectors
- Lab 4: Neutron Detection and Pulse Shape Discrimination in Liquid Scintillators
- Lab 5: Position Determination in HPGe Strip Detectors
- Lab 6: Experimental Determination of Mobility Lifetime Product in HPGe Strip Detectors
- Lab 7: Depth Determination and Carrier Compensation in Pixellated CZT Detectors
- Lab 8: Gamma-Ray Imaging with Strip HPGe Detectors
- Lab 9: Neutron Spectroscopy and Imaging with a Liquid Scintillation Scatter Camera
