Physics: Theoretical Nuclear Physics

This course in theoretical nuclear physics gives you a deep understanding of the properties of atomic nuclei and how they are modelled theoretically. You will learn to use quantum many-body theories to describe systems with interacting particles. The course covers several techniques used to solve the complex equations arising in modelling atomic nuclei. These methods are fundamental tools in many research areas dealing with interacting particles.

The course can be part of a programme in physics or astrophysics or taken as a stand-alone course.

The studies consist of lectures and exercises where you get practical experience of using different computational models. You will work on compulsory assignments that help you apply the theory in practice.

Examination is oral in the form of an exam at the end of the course, provided that all assignments are passed.
