  • PHYS 401: Particle and Nuclear Physics

    4.00 Credits
    Luther College

    4 hours This course is intended to introduce students to the properties and interactions of nuclei and elementary particles. Attention will be paid both to the historical experimental development of these related fields as well as their theoretical aspects. Students will be introduced to nuclear properties including stability, structure and reactions, radioactivity and applications of fission and fusion. Among topics in particle physics that will be addressed are the quark model of hadrons, chargedlepton and neutrino physics, the strong and weak interactions, symmetries and conservations laws and experimental methods in particle physics. Offered every three years. Prerequisite: PHYS 282. Pre- /corequisite: MATH 351.

  • PHYS 411: Quantum Mechanics

    4.00 Credits
    Luther College

    4 hours This course provides an introduction to the theory of nonrelativistic quantum mechanics. Both the conceptual and formal structure of the theory are discussed. A brief review of the experimental basis for quantization motivates the development of the Schr dinger wave equation. The principles of wave mechanics are then applied to various one dimensional problems, including the harmonic oscillator. The properties of angular momentum are developed and applied to central potentials in three dimensions. Matrix mechanics and spin angular momentum are also discussed, allowing for a complete treatment of the physics of hydrogen-like atoms. Prerequisite: PHYS 282. Pre-/corequisite: MATH 351.
