History of Nuclear & Particle Physics Time line of the discoveries and the interests
Differences between elementary particle & nuclear physics • The goal of elementary particle physics • To unify different scales of interactions (forces) • To identify fundamental particles in nature and to investigate the ultimate law of motion • To find the origin of universe, etc
The goal of nuclear physics • To understand finite atomic nuclei from nucleon properties and forces • To know the properties of stable materials (“our everyday life”)
Elementary particle physics • More fundamental investigation in physical science • Nuclear physics • Application of modern physics including elementary particle physics Elementary particle & nuclear physics are closely related historically.
Topics of Nuclear Physics • Hadron Structure • The structure of nucleon and modeling • Hadron Spectroscopy • Glueballs, hybrids, multi-quark states (pentaquark) • Heavy Ion Physics • Quark-gluon plasma, and other new phase of matters • Nuclear Astrophysics • Star formation, super novae • Applications • Archeology, environmental science, nuclear medicine, health physics, nuclear engineering
