Hi everyone, I just started a nuclear physics masters degree having not done physics since GCSE, here to try and catch up on some of the basics.
Exploring the Basics of Nuclear Physics: A Masters Student's Journey
- Thread starter upside-down
- Start date
In summary, Nuclear Physics is a field of study that explores the properties and behavior of atomic nuclei, including their structure, interactions, and energy release. As a Masters student, one would embark on a journey to understand the fundamental theories and principles of nuclear physics, such as nuclear reactions, radioactive decay, and nuclear fission and fusion. This would involve learning about the different types of particles that make up the nucleus, as well as the forces that hold them together. A Masters student would also delve into the applications of nuclear physics, from energy production to medical imaging and cancer treatment. Overall, studying nuclear physics requires a strong foundation in mathematics and a curious mind to unlock the mysteries of the atomic world.
