What will I learn?
This course offers a clear path to grasp excited states, collective motions, and shell-model predictions for ground states, using the semi-empirical mass formula in practical calculations. You'll handle nuclear data, choose appropriate nuclei, and plan basic reaction experiments, building skills to confidently analyse structures, patterns, and lab results.
Elevify advantages
Develop skills
- Diagnose nuclear excitations by quickly distinguishing single-particle from collective modes.
- Apply semi-empirical mass formula to calculate and explain binding energies.
- Use shell model methods to forecast ground-state spin-parity for nuclei around A=40-60.
- Gather nuclear data from NNDC, IAEA, AME and create neat level schemes.
- Plan basic reaction studies by selecting probes and observables to track shell changes.
