Credit points: 15

Subject outline

In this subject, students explore atomic, nuclear, and sub-nuclear structures, radiation physics and nuclear energy. Students develop their experimental and computational skills with a range of laboratory experiments. This subject is one of four such subjects at third year level that together constitute the Physics major stream. This stream is an excellent preparation for a career in research or education in the physical sciences and also for honours and post-graduate research studies in Physics.

Graduate capabilities & intended learning outcomes

Graduate Capabilities

Intended Learning Outcomes

01. Analyse, visualise and solve conceptual and mathematical problems related to atomic and nuclear physics.

02. Critically review and analyse research data in an ethical manner and interpret the results with reference to the scientific literature in order to develop appropriate conclusions and convey these in an appropriate manner in a written report.

03. Design and perform experiments related to atomic and nuclear physics using standard physics laboratory techniques, equipment and software which produce conclusive and accurate results.

04. Describe and explain, in appropriate written and verbal style, the findings from laboratory experiments performed by the student. Answer verbal queries about the findings as presented in the context of atomic and nuclear physics.

05. Collaborate, in pairs, to complete laboratory experiments and prepare and deliver the oral component of laboratory assessment. Ethically distinguish between collaborative and individual work.
