Kuvaus
This course is organized in collaboration with course PH2. The following subjects will be discussed:
- Basic nuclear phenomenology
- Using simple quantum mechanics example applied to nuclear case: finite square well
- Phenomenological potentials
- Discussion on numerical solvers (introduction to computing nuclei)
- Mean field methods: Hartree Fock
- Phenomenological interactions: how they work and how we build them?
- From Hartree-Fock to density functional theory
- An overview on modern functionals: achievements and well-known problems
- Extrapolation: can we predict nuclear properties in unknown regions?
- Introduction to Neutron Stars: what’s the role of nuclear physics?
