| CONTENTS and LECTURE PLANS (Module 1) |
| This module deals with the basics of nuclear physics, in terms of nuclear dimension, constituent
particles, mass, magnetic moment, electric moment, nuclear shape, nuclear binding energy and stability.
(3 lectures + 1tutorial). The structure of the nucleus is discussed in the light of liquid drop and nuclear shell model. (3 lectures + 1 tutorial) |
| Lecture 1: |
| In this lecture some of the basic properties like, constituent particles, mass, dimension, of an atomic nucleus are discussed. |
| Lecture 2: |
| In this lecture the electric moment of a nucleus and different nuclear shapes is discussed in detail. |
| Lecture 3: |
| This lecture deals with the binding energy of a nucleus and its implication in nuclear stability. |
| Lecture 4 (Examples with hints for lectures 1 to 3): |
| This is equivalent to lecture 4. Problems related to the above three lectures and hints of the answers are provided in this section. |
| Lecture 5 and 6: |
| In this lecture a detail discussion on liquid drop model of nucleus and its significance to understand nuclear stability is made. |
| Lecture 7: |
| In this lecture nuclei with magic numbers and nuclear shell model have been discussed in a simple manner. |
| Lecture 8 (Examples with hints for lectures 5 to 7): |
| This is equivalent to lecture 8. Problems related to the mass formula and nuclear stability are given and hints of the answers are provided. |
