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