Radioactivity
A.Y. 2024/2025
Learning objectives
The course is dedicated to radioactivity and its various applications. All radioactive decays will be explained in details both from the experimental and from the theoretical point of view. The main applications of radioactivity in art, health/medicine and different industrial fields will also be illustrated.
Expected learning outcomes
At the end of the course the student:
1) Will know all radioactive decays in details (phenomenologically and theoretically)
2) Will know some of the possible applications of radioactivity like radiodating
3) Will know the effects of radiations on human beings
4) Will know the most important sources of environmental radioactivity
5) Will know the methods to produce artificial radioactive isotopes
