Course program
Nuclear Forces: an introduction, starting from the known properties of the bound state of the deuteron, the phenomenology of the nucleon-nucleon collisions and the static properties of the nuclei. Introduction to Isospin. The Fermi gas Model for the nucleus (a useful example of a system of fermions and a “rough” interpretation framework of the nucleus).
The binding energy of the nucleus. Systematics of the binding energies. The nuclear Liquid Drop Model. Fusion and fission as possible energy sources. Examples of fusion and fission processes. Nuclear reactions (outline). Simple applications of relativistic kinematics to nuclear reactions. Compton scattering. Transformation of the reference frame and cross sections.
Law of radioactive decay and examples.
