講義の概要とねらい
The course will introduce the theoretical ideas used to describe the scattering and reactions of atomic nuclei, from astrophysical toward intermediate energies. Formal aspects of scattering and reaction theory will be reviewed, illustrated using topical applications. Topics covered will include the R-matrix methodology, the optical model, first-order (such as DWBA), coupled channels and semi-classical theory approaches. The course focusses on the physical concepts and approximations
used to allow practical predictions of nuclear reactions, taught at a Masters level. Applications are used that are simple but realistic enough to allow students to develop a confidence in how to use the concepts and models to estimate reaction outcomes.
到達目標
The course should, through discussion of formal methods and applications, allow experimenters and theorists to gain necessary background knowledge and practical experience of the use of direct reaction methods. The course aims to develop: (i) background knowledge, and (ii) confidence in making judgments on the selection of appropriate models and physical parameters to solve (approximately) selected many-body reaction problems.
キーワード
Nuclear scattering; nuclear reactions; direct reactions; R-matrix, first-order and higher-order reaction mechanisms, methods and applications.
