Units courses prerequisite and corequisite

Prerequisite or corequisite units are presented within each program

Learning unit contents

The main subjects are the nuclei, the radioactive decay, the different decays, the nuclear reactions and the interactions between matter and particles. Various applications are also discussed: fission, fusion, dating, material analysis, medical techniques,...

Learning outcomes of the learning unit

The course is mainly an introduction to nuclear physics. The aim is to familiarize the students with elementary concepts.

Prerequisite knowledge and skills

Physics and mathematics learned during 1st bachelor

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

- Face-to-face theoretical course for yellow and orange codes

Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

The face-to-face course is organized during the 1st period (yellow and orange codes).

10 sessions of 1h45.
