Introduction to fundamentals of nuclear physics and high energy physics.
Basic knowledge of classical and quantum mechanics.
Lecture:
- Subjects of nuclear physics and high energy physics
- Physical quantities characterizing nuclei and elementary particles; mass, charge, life-time, barion and lepton numbers, spin, magnetic moment, isospin, parity.
- Nucleon-nucleon interaction. Theory of deuteron.
- Nuclear models: Liquid Drop Model, Fermi gas model, shell model, self-consistent model.
- Mean field theory. Nuclear potentials.
- Residual interactions, quasi-spin model, BCS theory.
- Collective motion. Rotational and vibrational excitations.
- Spontaneous decay of nuclei; α, β, γ, fission.
- Nuclear reactions, Collisions with low, medium and high energies.
- Elements of the standard model and high energy physics.
Classes: The scope of the classes is basically the same as the lecture. Detailed calculations of some
examples.
Lectures on problems and discussions. During the classes, students solve tasks and recalculate some theoretical examples.

A course credit for the lectures is obtained by taking a final exam composed of tasks of varying degrees of difficulty.
During the classes the preparation of the students will be checked as well as their understanding of the lecture content at the time of the lectures. To obtain a course credit for the exercises 50% of the maximum number of points will be required, which can be achieved through two cumulative tests. A student who achieves at least 10% of the maximum points and who does not exceed the class absence limit has the right to a resit test of the entire material before the examination date. The result of the exam is also affected by class participation and preparation for the class.
