The course addresses the fundamental aspects of ionizing radiation sources, particle interactions with matter, and radiation-induced damage. Students will acquire comprehensive knowledge of the production mechanisms and interaction processes of charged and uncharged particles, spanning a wide mass range. Particular emphasis will be placed on the effects of radiation on matter, including exposure, absorbed dose, and equivalent dose. Problem-solving sessions and exercises will be an integral part of the course. Bibliography:
