Theoretical Nuclear Physics
Robert RothWS 2024/2025
- The lecture starts on Monday, October 14th !
Yes, we do start on the very first day of the winter semester... :-)
Here you will find the lecture notes as PDF files. They will be provided chapter-by-chapter as we proceed throught the semester.
The usual warning: Downloading and reading the lecture notes will not replace active participation in the lecture. The lecture notes are only ment to provide you with a complete documentation of what was covered in the lecture and as a help for preparing the exam.

Here you will find the exercise sheets and (one week later) also the solutions.

If you want doe dive deeper... here is a selection of nuclear theory textbooks.
Unfortunately, the selection is limited and none of the books really covers the state-of-the-art of nuclear many-body theory.
