radiation and medical physics
Radiation and Medical Physics research is carried out within the Centre for Nuclear and Radiation Physics (CNRP) research group, part of the Department of Physics. Research activity covers many areas of medical physics, radiation imaging techniques, fundamental studies of semiconductor radiation detectors and detector materials. The research makes use of extremely well-equipped laboratory facilities, including X-ray laboratories, semiconductor characterisation facilities, and detector fabrication and measurement faclities. Extensive use is also made of the University's nuclear microbeam particularly for ion beam analysis and ion beam induced charge (IBIC) imaging of semiconductor detectors.
The radiation and medical physics research is divided into 3 main areas:
