NPRE 498 FP2 - Multiple Events&Compu Methods

Last offered Fall 2013

Official Description

Subject offerings of new and developing areas of knowledge in nuclear, plasma, and radiological engineering intended to augment the existing curriculum. See Class Schedule or departmental course information for topics and prerequisites. Course Information: May be repeated in the same or separate terms if topics vary.

Section Description

Graduate section requires separate 1 hour per week computer lab session, meeting day/time TBD. The classical and quantum theories of the interaction of radiation (electromagnetic wave, charged particle and neutral particle) with matter are the core compnonents of applied nuclear physics. The content of the subject is broad and important for many physical disciplines such as nuclear and materials science and engineering. This course, built on the knowledge of single event, extends to multiple events and collective phenomena, which are common in real systems. The course will begin with a review of the classical and quantum theories of radiation interactions and then move on the discussing the collective manifestation of the multiple events on the thermodynamic, structural and kinetic properties of materials. Relevant atoistic simulation and numerical methods will be introduced throughout the course.
