This lecture covers the interaction of radiation with matter, focusing on charged particles, radiation types, radiation detection, and fundamental interactions. Topics include radiation types, ionization, excitation, deexcitation, and processes related to collisions.
After a PhD on the measurement of (p,n) reactions cross sections on small accelerators (IRSN, France), I have worked on the development of neutron detectors and measurement methods for reactor physics (CEA, France). I am part of the LRS staff since October 2014.

The course presents the detection of ionizing radiation in the keV and MeV energy ranges. Physical processes of radiation/matter interaction are introduced. All steps of detection are covered, as well
Explores radiation sources, including fast electron sources, heavy charged particle sources, and neutron sources, covering processes like beta decay, internal conversion, and Auger electrons.
