Review the fundamentals of probability and statistics and learn to apply them in commonly encountered practical data analysis problems, including parameter estimation, hypothesis testing, regression, simulation, and advanced error analysis (both statistical and systematic). This course will have theoretical and practical components. Once the theoretical concepts are covered, the emphasis will be to apply them to actual calculations with data. Students will learn to use a software package employed in the manipulation and analysis of large data sets, and they will write their own computer programs to carry out calculations using supplied data sets.

The students enrolled in ANSEL will develop a sophisticated understanding of our terrestrial radiation environment and of some of the important applications of nuclear science and technology. They will acquire practical skills in the routine use of radiation detectors, monitors, and electronics, and develop the ability to assess radiation threats and prospects of their abatement. The four in-depth ANSEL experiments are designed to help recreate a type of well-rounded, competent experimental nuclear scientist who is able to analyze an experimental problem, to select, design, and set up appropriate nuclear instrumentation, and to conduct required measurements. The laboratory sessions will meet twice a week for 2 hours and 40 minutes. The students are expected to write detailed lab reports on their work, and give a presentation on of their experiments at the end of the semester.In addition to the laboratory component of ANSEL students will attend a weekly lecture (1 hour and 15 minutes per week).

This course is designed as a follow-up course for an experienced Workshop Leader, titled a lead Workshop Leader Teaching Assistant (TA). Typically, the TA attends the weekly Workshop Leader Training meeting that offers specialized support and training to develop leadership skills, to foster ongoing communication among faculty members and study group leaders, and to provide an environment for review of study group related issues. Students spend the semester teaching three to four workshops during the Spring semester introductory physics courses.
