Measures of radioactivity: a tool for understanding statistical data analysis

preprint2012arXivOpen access

Abstract

A learning path on radioactivity in the last class of high school is presented. An introduction to radioactivity and nuclear phenomenology is followed by measurements of natural radioactivity. Background and weak sources are monitored for days or weeks. The data are analyzed in order to understand the importance of statistical analysis in modern physics.
