This lecture covers the principles of radiation detection, including interactions with matter, classification of detectors based on ionization and activation, detection efficiency, energy resolution, detector behavior, dead time, and examples of dead time behavior. It also discusses the detection of unwanted contributions, such as background radiation, and the concepts of sensitivity, linearity, and selectivity in detectors.
