OBJECTIVESRadiation DetectorsTERMINAL OBJECTIVE1.0SUMMARIZE radiation protection principles to include definition of terms, types ofradiation, and the basic operation of a gas-filled detector.ENABLING OBJECTIVES1.1DEFINE the following radiation detection terms:a. Electron-ion pairb. Specific ionizationc. Stopping power1.2EXPLAIN the relationship between stopping power and specific ionization.1.3DESCRIBE the following types of radiation to include the definition and interactionswith matter.a. Alpha (a)b. Beta (b)c. Gamma (g)d. Neutron (n)1.4DESCRIBE the principles of operation of a gas-filled detector to include:a. How the electric field affects ion pairsb. How gas amplification occurs1.5 Given a diagram of an ion pairs collected -vs- detector voltage curve, DESCRIBE theregions of the curve to include:a. The name of the regionb. Interactions taking place within the gas of the detectorc. Difference between the alpha and beta curves, where applicableIC-06 Page viii Rev. 0
