Experimental Nuclear Chemistry in the Undergraduate Curriculum

实施核化学课程所需的设备已经 最近被詹姆斯麦迪逊的化学系收购 大学一个阿尔法光谱仪，一个伽马光谱仪，和一个分析仪 系统是包括在内的项目。该系统的可用性 提供化学专业（和未成年人），医学预科和工程预科 接受现代核测量技术培训的学生， 用于α和γ粒子光谱测定的脉冲高度测量。 沿着教学基本概念，核计数的使用 用于中子活化分析、环境监测 医疗应用和技术和社会的某些应用 优点包括在内。

Equipment needed to implement a course in nuclear chemistry has been recently acquired by the Chemistry Department at James Madison University. An alpha spectrometer, a gamma spectrometer, and an analyser system were among the items included. The availability of this system provides chemistry majors (and minors), pre-medical, and pre-engineering students with training in modern nuclear measuring techniques involving pulse height measurements for alpha and gamma particle spectrometry. Along with teaching basic concepts, the use of nuclear counting equipment for neutron activation analysis, environmental monitoring, medical applications and selected applications of technical and social merit is included.
