Continguts

This course describes, from the theoretical point of view, the basic aspects of the interaction between nucleons, nuclear estructure, particle interaction with the nuclei, decay processes and nuclear reactions. Attention to the experimental aspects is also paid, describing present laboratories where research is done. Applications in Astrophysics and the presentation of the nuclear techniques to other fields of science and the industry are also included in the program.
