What will I learn?
This course equips you with practical tools to design and analyse small laboratory experiments confidently. Master core reaction notation, Q-value calculations, cross sections, and non-relativistic kinematics, applying them via key nuclear data repositories. Additionally, explore safety protocols, radiation monitoring, shielding, and experiment planning, including beam and detector choices, target design, and feasibility evaluation.
