FYSS3470 Introduction to nuclear models and interpretation of experimental data (4 cr)

• Introduction to various nuclear models and their theoretical concepts

• Strengths and weaknesses of various models

• Use of nuclear models in the interpretation of experimental data

• Experimental data for nuclear models 

After the course the student is able to

• Identify basic nuclear properties and to explain main features of their theoretical descriptions

• Outline what are the key experimental observables and what input they can provide for theoretical models

• What constraints and limitations various theoretical models possess and how they can explain measured data

• These topics will be discussed (mainly) from the perspective of experimental techniques employed in the JYFL accelerator laboratory.
