This is an introductory course that will cover the following general subjects

•        Nuclear properties.

•        Binding energy and nuclear stability.

•        Nuclear models.

•        Spin and moments.

•        Nuclear forces.

•        The structure of the nucleus.

•        Nuclear reactions: energetics and general cross-section behavior.

•        Neutron moderation, fission, controlled fission and fusion.

•        Radioactive decays.

•        Interactions of nuclear radiations (charged particles, gammas, and neutrons) with matter.

 

This phenomenological course provides the launch point for other nuclear physics courses that will follow.
