Official Course Description:
Learning outcomes:
Students
- know concepts, phenomena, and notions of nuclear physics as well as examples for nuclear applications,
- are capable of understanding nuclear models and formulating a mathematical ansatz for nuclear-physics problems,
- and are competent in solving problems with respect to nuclear and particle physics, communicating the results, and estimating the accuarcy of their analyses.

concerning problem/recitation sessions, please see the Moodle page accompanying the course
Risk Assessment:
Risk assessment
- Visiting closed room and lecture halls with large number of participants may stimulate fatigue. We will adjust the ventilation system accordingly and ask you to open doors and (where available) windows during the breaks. To take environmental issues into consideration, excessive heat loss is to be avoided in heated rooms when venting.
- Be advised that mainaining a monotonous, restricted posture (sitting) should be avoided over extended periods of time. Please use the breaks for your personal mobilization.
- Also take care of an adaequate seating position when taking notes or when using electronic devices because in lecture halls the recommendations of the workplace guidelines may not be guaranteed.
- The lecture halls, in which lecture and recitation sessions will be held, are equipped with stairs. Please note possible tripping hazards.
- For the case of a possible evacuation (fire, smoke, threat, emergency situations, etc.), please inform yourself about the posted evacuation plans. Follow the signs to the emergency exits.
- Should you become aware of an emergency situation (fire, smoke, threat, etc.), please notify teaching personnel immediately.
