Syfte

The course is intended to give a deeper insight in the physics of the atomic nucleus in a quantum mechanical point of view. Treated subjects are models of the nucleus, decay processes and nuclear reactions. The course has many connections to ongoing research in basic and applied nuclear physics at Lund University.

Mål

Kunskap och förståelse

För godkänd kurs skall doktoranden

• * have profound knowledge about the physics of the atomic nucleus
• * be able to explain how the nucleus can be described by different quantum mechanical models
• * have an understanding of the quantum mechanical description of the decay process.
• * have an understanding of the quantum mechanical description of nuclear reactions.

Färdighet och förmåga

För godkänd kurs skall doktoranden
