Nuclear Physics Phys 481

Sunday, Tuesday and Thursday from 9 am to 10 am, Room 1A107





Course Description:

- Properties of the nucleus: Isotopes, nuclear binding energy, angular momentum, nuclear electromagnetic moments, nuclear forces- Radioactivity: Decay law (τ, t1/2), natural radioactivity, successive decay, artificial radioactivity basic α – decay process, β -decays and γ -transitions

- Nuclear reactions: Q-value, threshold energy (Eth), Internal Conversion, Decay Schemes-

- Interaction of radiation with matter: Interaction of heavy (α, p, d) and light (e¯, e+), charged particles with matter, stopping power, interaction of gamma radiation with matter

(Photoelectric, Compton and pair production)

-Binding energy and the liquid drop model.
