Learning outcomes
1.1. Know the structure of exotic neutron-excess light nuclei, how to use accelerator complexes and multidetector devices to obtain and analyze exotic superheavy nuclei
2.1. Be able to logically and consistently formulate the basic concepts in high energy physics and independently master and use the literature on high energy physics.
Form of study
Full-time form
Prerequisites and co-requisites
Successful mastering of basic physics courses: "Physics of the atomic nucleus and elementary particles", "Mechanics", "Molecular Physics", "Electricity", "Optics ".
• Be able to solve problems from basic physics courses.
• Have basic computer skills in search information on the Internet.
Course content
The course "Research of exotic and superheavy nuclei on accelerators" will significantly improve the training of students of the Department of Nuclear Physics, and in fact:
• master the methods and principles of both theoretical analysis and planning and execution of a nuclear-physical experiment on accelerators with exotic neutron-excess light nuclei.
• to get acquainted with the methods of planning and performing a nuclear-physical experiment on accelerators to search for exotic superheavy nuclei

Assessment methods and criteria
The results of students' educational activity are evaluated on a 100 - point scale.
- semester assessment:
1. Two modular tests (maximum - 20x2 = 40 points).
2. Survey during lectures (maximum - 10 points).
3. Evaluation of homework (maximum - 10 points).
- final grade in the form of an exam (maximum -40 points)
- Final assessment in the form of an exam
- According to the results of the semester, the student receives a final grade on a 100-point system, which is calculated as cumulative for each of the two modules in the semester (semester number of points) and exam scores.
