Title Specialist Course - X-ray Physics & Biomedical Applications
Description With their short wavelength, hard X-rays can penetrate matter such as biological tissues deeply, and provide information about their interior architecture at micro- and nanometric resolution. This course covers the basic interaction of X-rays with matter, and its exploitation in selected X-ray methods which find application in biomedical research. The lecture will focus rather on physics, with only an outlook on applications. The seminar, however, will focus on the applications (presentations by students). An excursion to the Swiss synchrotron SLS at PSI, Villigen is planned for the end of semester.
