Bf.22 Nuclear Physics II (Spring)
Contents This course is based on the previous A-course, which first is followed up by discussions of topics like the nucleon-nucleon interaction, isospin, mean-field, shell model, superconductivity, rotations, vibrations, reactions and decay. Then we introduce hot research areas as quark-gluon plasma, unstable systems and superheavy nuclei. Finally we discuss a few of the practical applications of nuclear physics in medicin, material science, energy production, environment, climate research, archeology, geology. This distribution of topics does clearly not leave time for any details and the intentions are also confined to provide a general survey of the atomic nucleus with its characteristic mesoscopic properties.
