Energy loss by strong and weak interactions.

Strong interaction:
  • cross section and interaction length 
  • electromagnetic and hadronic showers
  • Spallation reaction and their importance for rare event searches
  • photonuclear reactions
  • neutron interaction with matter
  • thermal neutron capture cross section
Weak interaction:
  • Sources of neutrinos
  • First experiment for neutrino detection
  • neutrino interaction with matter
  • charge and neutral currents
  • Signal identification
