Description

CAEN realized different modular Educational Kits, mainly based on Silicon Photomultipliers (SiPM) state of-the-art sensor of light. The Educational Kits, provided with a dedicated Control Software, are modern and flexible platforms for teaching the fundamentals of Statistics, Particles Detection and Nuclear Imaging. Moreover, CAEN developed a series of experiments with different difficulty level, from basic experiments to more complex applications. The idea is to target the experiment depending on the student educational level. With this approach, the experiments proposed can be performed at high school level (grade 11, 12) science classes up to undergraduate physics laboratory and PhD courses.
