Qualification and program goals / Competences
The aim of this course is to provide students with a survey of nuclear theory at the graduate level, as well as an introduction to modern nuclear theories and topics. While the focus is on theoretical aspects of nuclear physics, when possible, the subject will be linked to applications, e.g. to astrophysics.
Recommended prerequisites
Quantum mechanics and Electromagnetism
Contents:
Introduction to nuclei and nuclear forces
Theory for alpha, beta and gamma decays
Few-body methods for nuclei
Shell model and introduction to many-body methods for nuclei
Nuclear reactions (direct reactions, optical potential)
Nuclear astrophysics and formation of the elements
