Instrumentation for Undergraduate Nuclear Physics

这个项目的目标是为学生提供核物理现代仪器和计算设备的经验。该装置以高分辨率伽马射线探测器和带有数学协处理器的IBM计算机为核心。辅助设备包括一台绘图仪，用于产生计算机的硬拷贝输出，以及电子模块，用于整形、放大和分析来自探测器的信号。其他辅助设备包括将与所需设备一起研究的放射源。这些设备将用于指导准备从事教师或工程师工作的学生，或者准备接受物理、化学、地质或工程方面的进一步教育的学生。具体地说，该设备将用于改进核物理仪器和方法的教学。该大学将提供等额的资金来匹配该奖项。

The goal of this project is to offer students experience with modern instrumentation and computing equipment for nuclear physics. The equipment centers on high resolution gamma ray dector and IBM computer with a math co-processor. Supporting equipment includes a plotter to produce hard copy output from the computer, as well as electronic modules to shape, amplify, and analyze the signals from the detector. Other supporting equipment includes radioactive sources which will be studied with the equipment requested. The equipment will be used to instruct students bound for employment as teachers or engineers or bound for further education in physics, chemistry, geology or engineering. Specifically this equipment will be used to improve teaching of the instrumentation and methods of nuclear physics. The University will match the award with an equal amount of funds.
