Graduate students will have knowledge of how modern science tries to answer the big questions about the universe. In addition to this, students will have learned about how new ideas go from fundamental research to actual utilization in everyday life, in the way that nuclear physics is used in medicine. In elementary particle physics we research the smallest building blocks of the universe to understand unanswered questions about dark matter, antimatter and the origin and evolution of the universe. Within Astro-particle physics there is the study of elementary particles in the universe by use of telescopes, to understand and explain unsolved phenomena. In high energy nuclear physics we research the behavior of nuclei under extreme conditions, especially the quark-gluon plasma that existed for about one microsecond after the Big Bang.

Course Outcomes:-

CO1: Revise or learn the basic aspects of the atomic and nuclear Physics, specially the Radiations that originate from the atom and the nucleus.

CO2: Develop and communicate analytical skills in subatomic physics.

CO3: Expected to understand the Characteristics of Geiger Muller (GM) Counter experiments.

CO4: Know about the units of radiations and their safety limits, the devises to detect and Measure radiation, such as the Geiger-Mueller counter and scintillation counter.

Skills to be learned:-

• General concepts of nuclei, nuclear forces and atomic physics are studied.
• Basic knowledge about nuclear radiation types and radiation detectors.
