PHY7209: Advanced Nuclear Physics

This course begins with the fundamentals of Nuclear Physics, and then nuclear reactions and ele-mentary particle physics are outlined. This course also focuses on radiation detection and spectros-copy.

Course Objectives
The objectives of the course are to:

• Discuss nuclear models of the atoms in relation to their stability.
• Determine conservation of physical quantities.
• Discuss elementary particle physics in nuclear analysis.
• Differentiate between different types of decay processes.
• Explain how radiation interacts with matter.

Course Learning Outcomes
By the end of the course, the students should be able to:

• Discuss nuclear models of the atoms in relation to their stability.
• Determine conservation of physical quantities
• Apply elementary particle physics in nuclear analysis
• Differentiate between different types of decay processes
• Explain how radiation interacts with matter
