(NPRE 346) Experimental and theoretical foundations of interaction of neutrons, photons and charged particles with matter. Emphasis on topics that underlie the following applications; radiation detection, biological effects and radiation dosimetry, radiation damage and nuclear materials, neutron activation analysis, and fission and fusion energy systems. Classical theory of charged particle cross sections. Introductory quantum mechanics. Exact and numerical solutions of the Schroedinger equation. Quantum theory of cross sections. Photon interactions with atomic electrons and nuclei. Radioactive-series decay. Computer assignments illustrate fundamental concepts. Not available for graduate credit to nuclear engineering majors. Prerequisite: PHYS 214 and MATH 385; credit or concurrent registration in MATH 380; or equivalents.
