Description

  • Principle of special relativity and its consequences for the description of space-time and its transformations, mass-energy equivalence.
  • Nuclear reactions: global properties of the nucleus, theory of direct reactions and composed  nucleus formation;
  • Nuclear models: Fermi gas - stability of degenerate Fermi gas, case of self-conjugating nuclei.
  • Layered model: basic formulation, nuclear mean field, some recent developments (residual interactions).
  • Collective models: isoscalar vibrations / giant resonances, rotations of deformed nuclei.
  • Gamma decay, electromagnetic interaction and nuclei;
  • Beta decay, weak interaction and nuclei;
  • Relativistic versions of the Schrödinger equation, notions of anti-particles and spinners;
  • Discrete and continuous symmetries in quantum physics;
  • Calculations of effective cross sections, lifetimes and particle widths;
  • Introduction to Feynman diagrams, interaction mediator particles and propagators;
  • Strong interaction: quark model, isospin, introduction to SU(3);
  • Electroweak interaction: weak currents and symmetry violation.
