Aims |
|
To introduce modelling techniques To give some basic rules for modelling the performance of a detector. To compare the results of a model with experimental measurements |
Learning Outcomes |
|
(LO1) Knowledge of programming in a MATLAB |
|
(LO2) Modelling of some simple physical situations |
|
(LO3) Familiarity with Monte Carlo methods |
|
(LO4) Modelling of the performance of a gamma ray detector |

Syllabus |
|
•Introduction to Matlab programming. Examples of some random processes described by the RND function using computer graphics, e.g. tossing coins, dice throwing. Working programmes will be provided at this stage and students will be initially encouraged to run them for certain cases and then modify the programmes for other examples. |
