Course Contents:
The lecture will cover the basics of electromagnetic radiation interacting with nuclear matter - so-called photonuclear reactions. Photonuclear reactions play a vital role for very different aspects of basic research and applications. Amongst others, they are a key ingredient for modeling the synthesis of the chemical elements in the Universe and applications in nuclear safeguards.
The content of the lecture will include:
- Introduction and overview of the topic
- Formalism of photonuclear reactions
- Photon sources and instrumentations
- Examples of fundamental research
- Applications
