What will you learn:
Part 2 of the Fundamentals of Gamma Spectroscopy builds upon the information from Part 1. The course will dive deeper into the same topics and introduce additional concepts of gamma spectroscopy that prepare health physicists for using this practice in the field or in research. This course offers a fast-paced review of the basic principles of gamma spectroscopic analysis. Additional topics include a review of the basic physics of gamma-ray detection, formulation of spectra, interpretation of spectral data, interferences, and calculations.
After completing this course, learners will be able to:
- Explain how ionizing radiation contributes to cancer development through promotion of carcinogenic processes or independent induction, recognizing the complexity and multifactorial nature of the phenomenon.
- Analyze major epidemiological studies of human populations and laboratory animal research to understand the current scientific perspectives on radiation-induced cancer risk.
- Interpret the implications of radiation carcinogenesis research for establishing and improving ionizing radiation safety standards and protective measures.
