What will I learn?
This course equips you with hands-on skills to plan and evaluate compact lab experiments on nuclear reactions. You'll master reaction notation, Q-value computations, cross-section analysis, and basic kinematics, applying them via key nuclear databases. It also addresses safety protocols, radiation detection, shielding techniques, and full experiment setup, including beam, detector, and target choices plus viability checks.
