11:45-12:40 MWF (initial arrangement) C133
The first lecture will be Wed. Jan 24, 2007
The main objective of the course is to introduce graduate
students, both theorists and experimentalists, to basic nuclear
physics. As a minimal textbook I will use ``An Introduction to Nuclear Physics" by Cottingham and Greenwood, 2001, (Cambridge), which is thin
and has basic problems. More
modern elements (or those absent from this book, like
Big Bang Nucleosynthesis) will be given from other sources
as additional printouts. There would be few rounds of
basic homework problems (60%)
and a final exam (40% of the total grade).
Pre-requisites: undergraduate
general course on Particle/Nuclear physics; Grad. Quantum mechanics
The particular topics to be discussed are:
