Friday, February 22nd (Lab Day)
We will begin at the Facundo Bueso Building, Room 341. 6 Ave. Ponce de Leon, Rio Piedras Campus, University of Puerto Rico.
Lab session will occur in 3 rotating groups: 1. RADECC, 2. Gamma, 3. Beta RISO.
These sessions include the theory and use of equipment and final lab/data processing.
Students will be broken into three groups and go through training in each of three detector types. We anticipate that there will be ~9 students per group. Due to time limitations, alpha, beta and gamma spectrometer samples will be prepared/processed beforehand and trainees will be instructed on how to use these instruments. For RaDeCC, trainees will be instructed on how to process and measure the sample. The arrangements are as follows:
