NUCLEAR PHYSICS
Physics 560
( MWF 9.30 - 10.20 am, PAB B109)
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.
The minimum prerequisite
is one year of graduate level quantum mechanics and one year of QFT is
desirable.
Due to Budget constraints - Assignments
will not be graded as the UW has not provided a TA for the course - sorry.
