Advanced lectures

From 2d X-ray pictures of Conrad Roentgen to nuclear medicine – medicine has been the driving force in at least some developments of the radiation technology. We present some of the results.

The word „radiation” is scary (for some at least). And it does „attack” the cells. In this lecture the mechanisms of interaction and the problems for the cells following this interaction are discussed. However tissue is more than a set of cells, and organism is more than some lumps of tissue put together. In large doses the radiation can be harmful (and that is how radiotherapy Was born), but this is not necessarily the case for small doses.

We present the non-medical applications of ionising radiation.

To our eyes quantum physics seems to be madness: everything is both wave and particle, Schrödinger’s cat is part dead and part alive etc. But the quantum physics with its wave equations and probabilistic worldview works. We discuss some aspects, some interpretations and some confirmations of this „strange” theory.

Accelerator technologies in the nutshell.

It is often said that we don’t see the ionising radiation. It is true, but we can register it (or the results of its interaction with matter) with surprising efficiency and precision. The processes, methods and devices that detect the ionising radiation are presented in this talk.

With the support of ZUOP an exhibition about low- and intermediate-level radioactive waste Was created. Where it comes from, what is its form, and what is done with it in Poland – all those issues are presented. Note that the spent nuclear fuel problem is not shown here, but it may be discussed lecture-like.
