	Objectives
	THE COURSE AIMS TO PROVIDE THE BASIS OF THE ANALYTICAL METHODOLOGIES BASED ON NUCLEAR TECHNIQUES IN DIFFERENT FIELDS OF APPLICATION SUCH AS THE CULTURAL AND ENVIRONMENTAL HERITAGE DIAGNOSTICS AND MATERIAL ANALYSIS. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: STUDENTS WILL ACHIEVE A GOOD GENERAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE PHYSICAL LAWS AT THE BASIS OF SEVERAL APPLICATIONS IN VARIOUS FIELDS AND WILL LEARN HOW TO MASTER THE RUNNING RATIONALES, THE APPLICATION LIMITS, THE ACHIEVABLE PRECISION AND THE INTERPRETATION OF RESULTS. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE CAPACITY TO APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED WILL BE FOSTERED THROUGH THE EXECUTION OF PRACTICAL EXERCISES DURING WHICH THE STUDENTS WILL PERFORM IN THE LABORATORY APPLICATIVE EXPERIMENTS AND WILL INTERPRET THE RESULTS IN THE FRAMEWORK OF THE OBJECTIVES OF THE APPLICATION.
