Muonic Radiography
The muonic radiography of large volumes is an imaging technique that uses atmospheric muons as a source to obtain tomographic images of large volumes, such as volcanic cones, underground cavities, or architectural structures, through appropriate measurements of absorption and scattering. Florence is a leading center in this field, conducting research both in the development of detectors and in the development of image reconstruction techniques.
This path naturally fits within the Fisica Applicata / Applied Physics curriculum, whose general rules must be followed when preparing this study plan. Below are some recommendations for choosing core, related/integrative, and elective courses for this path.
|
Core courses: Environmental physics Cosmic rays Elements of matter physics Ionizing radiation detectors Physics of the atmosphere and climate Two laboratory courses to choose from: Electronics laboratory Nuclear physics laboratory Subnuclear physics laboratory One course to choose from: Theoretical physics Didattica della fisica It is also recommended to take the Nuclear and subnuclear physics course, which, having already selected three other courses from the same core group, may only be included as an elective course. |
|
Additional recommended supplementary and elective courses: Data analysis in subnuclear physics Data acquisition systems Experimental methods in nuclear physics Experimental methods in particle physics Particelle elementari e applicazioni*
Note: * if not already selected during the undergraduate program |
