Course Objective

The aim of this course is to give clear and concise ideas and principles underlying nuclear and elementary particle physics. Furthermore, this course gives some knowledge about particle physics. This course also constitutes a physical background for students who will study in the field of nuclear and elementary particle physics. Firstly , nuclear reactions are given then applications of nuclear physics are taken.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1	Being able to learn nuclear reactions and interpret related experimental results
2	Being able to evaluate calculations related to nuclear spin and moments
3	Being able to learn processes related to meson physics
4	Being able to learn processes related to particle physics and interpret experimental results of the theory in particle physics
5	Being able to references that can guide a student to follow current studies related to nuclear and particle physics
