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.
