| PHY5154 | Nuclear Physics I | 3 | 6 | Major | Master/Doctor | 1-4 | Korean | Yes | |
| Nuclei are basically made of quarks and gluons. Thus, we first deal with the elementary particles. From the point of view of the standard model, quarks and leptons are discussed together with their quantum numbers and related symmetries. There are many models to describe baryons. We will discuss some of them. All four fundamental interactions in nature play roles in the laboratory of nuclei. We will discuss the strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions in nuclei. The interactions between baryons and mesons are extensively studied by nuclear physicists. We will discuss some of them in connection with the experimental observations. The deuteron which is the most simple nuclei will be studied. | |||||||||

| We will deal with atomic nuclei in this course. The structures, shapes, and properties of nuclei will be first discussed. When a nucleus in its ground state becomes excited, various quantum states can be formed. We will discuss these unique phenomena in terms of nuclear interactions and many-body properties. Most common decay processes such as -decay, -decay, and -decay will be discussed together with fission process. Many-body properties of nuclei are very interesting. They will be discussed by using nuclear shell model, nuclear collective motions, Tamm-Dandoff Approximation, and Random Phase Approximation. To understand the stellar evolution, it is essential to know the nuclear reaction rates in stars. We will discuss the nuclear reactions taking place in stars and supernovae. The interactions of neutrinos with nuclei are novel phenomena, which are related to the cooling of the neutron star. We will discuss how nuclear physics is useful in the study of these astrophysics problems. Most nuclei on the earth are radioactive. Thus, it is impossible to avoid radiation in our daily lives. The nuclear physics related to our daily life and nuclear applications including nuclear medicine will be discussed. | |||||||||
