Theory of nuclear structure (FMFN15, FYST11)


- This is the homepage for the course in the theory of nuclear structure (FMFN15, FYST11) (before 2017 called FMF121) at Lund University.

- This course is intended for the students, who want to experience some application of quantum mechanics to a fascinating system of many particles such as the nucleus. It gives an introduction to the advanced research field of theoretical nuclear physics, in which several senior staffs at the division of mathematical physics are working.

- Students for this course are expected to have a knowledge of Quantum Mechanics corresponding to the Advanced Course.

- Below we provide information and useful documents for the course.

Literature

The literature for the course consists of a compendium to be handed out during the first lecture. The compendium is maily inspired by:

(1) S.G. Nilsson and I. Ragnarsson: Shapes and Shells in Nuclear Structure, Cambridge Press, 1995.

(2) I. Hamamoto, Theoretical Nuclear Structure Physics, Kompendium, Div. of Mathematical Physics
(printouts distributed during lectures)

(3) D. J. Rowe, Nuclear Collective Motion, World Scientific, 2010


Extra reading

Recommended books covering many-body methods applied to nuclear structure are:
