Detectors are the heart of any modern experiment in nuclear and particle physics. This course will cover the basic knowledge about particle and radiation interaction with matter, the properties of various detector types, new developments, electronics, data acquisition, and finally some examples of complex experimental setups.

  • NEWS (April 04, 2016): The course takes place weekly at 10 a.m. in the seminar room of the Institute for Nuclear Physics. Its starts in April 14th.


  • In the Master of Science/Physics program this course counts as an course (2 HPW) with 3 credit points. If the module "Nuclear and Particle physics" is your primary area of specialization, "Physics of detectors" is a core course. If the module "Nuclear and Particle physics" is your secondary area of specialization, "Physics of detectors" is one of the specialized courses offered. This course is recommended by the BCGS (Bonn-Cologne Graduate School of Physics and Astronomy).
