Nuclear Reaction Analysis

Nuclear Reaction Analysis (NRA) detects charged particles and is used predominantly to determine concentrations and depth profiles of the lighter elements.

Association award to neutron scientist

Professor Vanessa Peterson, Senior Principal Research and Neutron Scattering Instrument Scientist and Leader of the Energy Materials Research project, has been awarded the Bob Cheary Award or Excellence in Diffraction Analysis by the Australian X-ray Analytical Association. She is the first female to be chosen for the award.

Radionuclides in medicine

Radionuclides have been used routinely in medicine for more than 60 years. Nuclear medicine uses radiation to provide information about the functioning of a person's specific organs to diagnose or treat disease. The radionuclides used in medicine have half-lives ranging from a few minutes to several days to minimise the patient's radiation dose. 

Students will:

  • use MS Excel to construct simple graphs of decay of three unknown medical radionuclides
  • use their graph to calculate the half-life of the radionuclides
  • determine the identity and use of each radionuclide using the background information provided.
