| Objectives | |
|---|---|
| THE COURSE MAKES STUDENTS ACQUIRE AN ADEQUATE KNOWLEDGE OF THE FUNDAMENTALS OF THE NUCLEAR AND SUBNUCLEAR STRUCTURE OF THE MATTER. KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE GOAL OF THE COURSE IS TO PROVIDE BASICS OF THE CURRENT THEORETICAL UNDERSTANDING OF THE FUNDAMENTAL INTERACTIONS AMONG THE ELEMENTARY COMPONENTS OF THE MATTER. APPLYING KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING: THE COURSE WILL GIVE THE POSSIBILITY OF UNDERSTANDING THE MOST RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN THE PHYSICS OF FUNDAMENTAL INTERACTIONS IN A COHERENT FORMAL SETTING AND UNDER A HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE. |
| Prerequisites | |
|---|---|
| A GOOD KNOWLEDGE OF THE ARGUMENTS STUDIED DURING THE THREE-YEAR DEGREE (LAUREA TRIENNALE DI PRIMO LIVELLO) IS REQUIRED, WITH A SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE FUNDAMENTALS OF NUCLEAR AND SUBNUCLEAR PHYSICS. IT IS ALSO REQUIRED THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE ARGUMENTS TREATED IN THE COURSES METODI MATEMATICI PER LA FISICA E FISICA TEORICA (LAUREA MAGISTRALE). |

| Teaching Methods | |
|---|---|
| FRONT LESSON CLASSES AND EXERCISE CLASSES. THE STUDENT IS OBLIGED TO FOLLOW THE LECTURES AND TO PARTICIPATE WITH HIS CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE DISCUSSIONS DURING THE PRESENTATIONS OF SPECIALISTIC SUBJECTS. THE PERMANENT INTERACTION WITH THE STUDENT AND THE COMMON DISCUSSIONS DURING THE LECTURES ALLOWS A NON SUPERFICIAL JUDGEMENT OF THE STUDENT PREPARATION IN ITINERE. |
| Verification of learning | |
|---|---|
| THE FINAL ORAL EXAMINATION INCLUDES A BRIEF REPORT BY THE STUDENT ON A SUBJECT CHOSEN AMONG A NUMBER PROPOSED BY THE TEACHER. THE STUDENT IS REQUIRED TO BE ABLE TO EXPOSE IN A CLEAR AND SYNTETIC MANNER THE TOPICS PRESENTED DURING THE LECTURES AND TO FORMULATE AUTONOMOUS JUDGEMENTS. HE MUST ALSO SHOW HIS CAPABILITY IN PROBLEM SOLVING. |
