Homework assignments consist of problem sets and selected publications, which have to be worked through and presented/discussed in class (about once a week). Students are expected to prepare and maintain notes covering and substituring the material of the class. Due dates for the homework assignments will be given. Homework handed in late will loose half of its point value.
Experimental information about the structure of nucleons and nuclei is mainly obtained with scattering experiments, with e.g. hadronic or electro-magnetic probes. Thus one has to understand possible reaction mechanisms to be able to interpret data.
The general idea of the course is to present basic information on scattering theory and its application to the atomic nuclei.
