Course coordinators
Learning outcomes
Knowledge of basic nuclear models na dall types of radioactivity. Understanding of the role of nuclear physics in the astrophysics modeling. Knowledge of the experimental set-ups and current nuclear physics research.
Assessment criteria
Problem solving sessions will be graded based on the results of short but frequent test.
Final grading will be based on the results of the examination and the nuclear physics experiment proposal to be written. List of experiments to be proposed will be given at the beginning of the semester.
