This course aims to provide a basic understanding of the structure of nuclei and their properties, with a strong focus on linking theory with experimental observations of nuclear behaviour. The course will provide an overview of the basic properties of the nucleus and its structure; introduce the nuclear models developed to explain the properties of the nucleus; aims to quantitatively describe the energy balances and spin/parity selection rules of alpha, beta and gamma decay processes in radioactivity; as well as to familiarize one with the applications of nuclear physics including fusion and fission. This course will thus equip you with the fundamental concepts that will provide you the foundation for advanced studies in nuclear physics and particle physics or prepare you to follow or initiate research in field or to work in industry jobs related to nuclear science and technology.
