Experiments in Nuclear Science is an introductory-level laboratory
manual providing hands-on opportunities for developing insights
into the origins and properties of nuclear radiations, their
interactions with matter, their detection and measurement, and
their applications in the physical and life sciences. Based on
experiments successfully performed by hundreds of students at
Rutgers University and the University of Wisconsin, this manual can
be used as a stand-alone volume or alongside a textbook such as
Introduction to Nuclear Science by Jeff C. Bryan.
Relevant to a range of courses
Each of the 32 exercises includes an overview of the scientific
phenomenon, instructions for conducting the experiments and
recording the data, directions for analyzing the data and reporting
the results, specific questions relating to the experiments, and
several problems relating to the scientific phenomena being
investigated. Validated for safety and pedagogy in the
undergraduate instructional laboratory, the exercises can be used
in an undergraduate course in nuclear science. Individual exercises
can also be adopted to demonstrate fundamental principles in a
general science course as well as introductory biology and
chemistry courses. Making use of off-the-shelf instrumentation,
these exercises can be performed in a conventional laboratory under
the supervision of an experienced instructor.
Applicable to numerous career fields
Demonstrating fundamental principles, the concepts explored
through these experiments are relevant to a host of career
opportunities, including those in the health sciences, the nuclear
power industry, regulatory agencies, and waste management
services.
