Learning unit contents

Part A

This part of the PHYS2009-1(2) course is an introduction to nuclear physics. The aim is to familiarize the students with elementary concepts. The main investigated subjects are the nuclei, the radioactive decay, the different decays, the interactions between matter and particles. Various applications are also discussed: fission, fusion, dating, material analysis, medical techniques,..

Part D

Laboratories related to nuclear physics.
