Students will be broken into three groups and go through training in each of the three detector types. We anticipate that there will be ~9 students per group. Due to time limitations, alpha, beta and gamma spectrometry 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 samples. The arrangements are as follows: |
