| Prerequisites: | Quantum mechanics |
| Target skills and knowledge: | The student will get a deeper view of several aspects of Nuclear Reactions Dynamics and Nuclear Structure. In particular, experimental tools and methods to study nuclear properties will be discussed. Theoretical methods and models will be presented and applied to several cases. The most resent results and issues will be presented and discussed. The students will be able to interpret the data and the different properties and excitation modes in nuclei. |
| Examination methods: | The exam consists on an oral examination with eventual presentation of a research work on one of the several subjects proposed by the professors. |
| Assessment criteria: | Good knowledge of the main subjects of the course |
| Course unit contents: | Program of Nuclear Physics 2017/2018
