一、課程說明(Course Desc<x>ription) 
<br>This course aims at providing students a comprehensive understanding of the fundamentals of 
<br>radiation detection and measurement. Students are expected to demonstrate a knowledge of 
<br>atomic and nuclear physics, and the capability of identifying mechanisms behind different 
<br>types of radiation interaction with matter. Principles of the counting statistics, nuclear 
<br>instruments, and detectors utilized to measure the charged particles, photons, and neutrons 
<br>will be introduced subsequently.
