From the electric pulse to image quality - the analysis chain of imaging detectors (lecture)

<!--HTML-->Imaging gaseous detectors are the base-technology for many applications, such like Medical Imaging and Airport Security, as they are an upgrade to our biologic eyes. The objective of this lecture is to join physics and computing concepts to fully understand the analysis chain of an imaging gaseous detector. We will discuss the physics inside the detector, the engineering that processes the electric pulses, the computing skills behind image reconstruction and come back to the physical concepts by extracting meaningful parameters from the final image. In the exercise session, you will follow these steps yourself by analyzing electric pulses from an oscilloscope, reconstructing an image from a data file and quantifying some important parameters like position resolution and noise.
