The preliminary meeting will take place on 03.03.2025 at 16:00 in the Victor-Franz-Hess lecture hall.
Basic duration of the course units: 09:00-15:30.

The practical course itself will take place on the selected 8 days for the first hour in the Victor-Franz-Hess lecture hall and then in the practical and laboratory facilities of Isotope Physics, Währinger Straße 17, 1090 Vienna. The times listed include a variable lunch break.
Other obligations such as practice tests etc. can be taken into account after consultation. The courses are generally held on site, but depending on the situation, individual units can also be held via online teaching.

Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

An introduction to the physics and measurements techniques in radioactivity and nuclear physics will be given in this experimental course. The measurements must be evaluated, interpreted and presented as lab reports. After a short discussion at the beginning of each course day, the students will work independently in small groups on their experiments. A supervisor is available for questions during the experiments or later during evaluation and writing of the lab report.

Assessment and permitted materials

Active participation, written reports in compliance with the plagiarism rules, 5-minute micro test with multiple-choice questions at the beginning of each course unit about the unit content described in the instructions. A list of all questions will be provided with each unit. No aids are allowed in the microtest.

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

In order to get a positive grade , 6 lab reports have to be handed in (allocation of lab report writing takes place in the lab course). Each protocol is graded individually, the average over all microtests counts as another protocol. 50% of the performance (6 protocols+mean of all microtests) must be positive, above that the grading scale is linear. Your presence in the exercise classes is expected and obligatory. You are allowed to skip one session without reason. Further missed sessions will lead to a negative grade (fail) unless there is a credible and reasonable excuse.

Examination topics

Areas of nuclear physics, which are relevant for the experimental course according to the instruction sheets as well as additional material made available via Moodle. The instruction sheets are uploaded to Moodle 1 week ahead of the course.

Reading list

Instructions for the examples on Moodle and the literature specified therein.
