78462 Particles and Nuclei

Course 78462, "Particles and Nuclei", is a senior level course that gives students a modern introduction to Nuclear and Particle Physics. Course 78251/78252, "Quantum Physics I/II", is a prerequisite, but may be taken concurrently for particularly ambitious students.

NOTE: CHANGE OF ROOM

This course will meet in Carnegie 101, not DCC 330 as listed in the class hour schedule.

The course syllabus for Spring 1996 is available in postscript format.

Here is a postscript note on Dirac notation which should help explain the use of "bras" and "kets".
