This training course provides an introduction to the fundamental principles and methods of radiation detection. Covered topics include radioactive decay, types of radiation detectors, and an overview of measurement applications involving gamma spectroscopy, alpha spectroscopy, and alpha/beta counting. This course is presented as a self-directed “E-Learning” experience that allows coverage of the training materials at whatever time and pace is best for each student. This E-Learning course is intended to serve as the first milestone within Mirion's “Training Trax” program, developed to allow students to advance to higher levels of expertise in a variety of specialized software and measurement applications. Students will be required to pass a final exam to confirm and receive credit for successful completion of this course.

This course expires 60 days after registration.

This course covers the complete range of gamma spectroscopy principles from a review of radiation detection principles to evaluation of results and everything in between. This is a concentrated, concise course that includes a practical approach to all aspects of gamma-ray spectrometry. This course is presented as a self-directed “E-Learning” experience that allows coverage of the training materials at whatever time and pace is best for each student. This E-Learning course is intended to serve as the second foundational step for further study in gamma spectroscopy software and hardware theory and operations within Canberra’s “Training Trax” program. This course is not a hardware or software operations course but does include an introduction to Mirion gamma spectroscopy software. The course includes progress quizzes and a final exam for credit within the CANBERRA TrainingTrax program.
