NUCLEAR PHYSICS

Physics 560
(MWF 11.30 am, PAB A110)








The course provides an introduction to modern Nuclear Physics.  We will begin by understanding the one
and two nucleon systems, and then embark upon larger nuclei.
Homework will be assigned every week that is designed to reinforce the ideas we cover.

The minimum prerequisite is  one year of graduate level quantum mechanics.
 
 

The text for the course is Introductory Nuclear Physics by Samuel S. M. Wong, (ISBN-0-471-23973-9)
which is available in the UW book store.
