Course content
Methods of cosmic X-ray, gamma-ray, and cosmic-ray observations will be lectured with the scientific significance. As for means of these observations, particularly, the detectors are well designed to read signals among extremely large backgrounds and still being improved now. This course will review the principles of the detectors, and lecture problems and solutions for taking and transfer of data based on each detector.
Purpose of class
The purpose of this class is to understand significances of X-ray, gamma-ray, and cosmic-ray observations, and to figure out the observational methods.
Goals and objectives
  1. To understand methods for X-ray, gamma-ray, and cosmic-ray observations with the detection principles, and to be able to explain the methods and the detection principles.
