Fysik: Teoretisk kärnfysik

Research in theoretical nuclear physics began in Lund in the 1950's http://www.fysik.lu.se/historia/sven-goesta-nilsson-och-hans-modell/ and flourished through the collaboration between Lund and the Niels Bohr Institute in Copenhagen. Today the Lund group focuses on descriptions of low-energy properties and reactions of atomic nuclei. The basic idea is to model the nucleus using quantum mechanics. Since the resulting differential equations are difficult to solve, several approximate schemes have been developed called many-body methods. Today these methods form the basic tools for most fields dealing with interacting particles. In the course we will cover several such approximation methods while at the same time gradually building our physics understanding of the atomic nucleus.
