Computer Tools for Nuclear Physics I 1100-CTNP1
Students will learn in a practical way a couple of computer tools helpful at work of the nuclear and particle physicist.
1. NRV two-body kinematics applet
2. SRIM/TRIM package on passing particles through the absorber
3. databases of cross sections: EXFOR, SAID etc
4. CERN-based ROOT data analysis platform
Main fields of studies for MISMaP

Learning outcomes
The student should be able to:
- find the energy of particle or nucleus after two-body collision, emitted in a given angle
- estimate (SRIM) or simulate (TRIM) the energy and range of charged particle passing through a given absorber
- find the nuclear or hadronic cross section in databases like EXFOR, SAID etc
- perform the analysis of data from experiment or simulation code with help of the ROOT platform, that includes implementation of own data structure, fitting and visualisation.
Assessment criteria
Graded credit based on performed project.
If you are linked to some research group, the best is such a project that helps to achieve progress in the context of your analysis linked to this group. If you cannot find a topic, consult with the coordinator in advance.
The project cannot be a reuse of a code developed to pass another course.
