Introductory course in Modern Experimental Particle Physics is intended
   for those preparing for the research in nuclear and particle physics. 
   Designed mainly for experimentalists, it will contained the description  
   of the particles propagation and interaction in the media, modern particle
  detectors, nuclear electronics and radiation shielding. This course can be useful
   for students in health physics, radiation biology, and nuclear engineering.
