59284	Lecture-Discussion	FP2	11:00AM -12:20PM	TR	100H Talbot Laboratory	Zhang, Y	Part of Term: 1 Date Range: 01/14/13-05/01/13 Credit: 4 hours Section Title: Multiple Events&Comp Methods Section Info: Sect FP2 4 Hrs restricted to Grads. The classical and quantum theories of the interaction of radiation (electromagnetic wave, charged particle and neutral particle) with matter are the core components 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. NPRE courses 446/447/521 primarily focus on single interaction event. 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 to discussing the collective manifestation of the multiple events on the thermodynamic, structural and kinetic properties of materials. Relevant atomistic simulation and numerical methods will be introduced throughout the course. Prerequisite: NPRe 446 or consent of instructor. Restriction(s): Restricted to Graduate - Urbana-Champaign.

The classical and quantum theories of the interaction of radiation (electromagnetic wave, charged particle and neutral particle with matter are the core components 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. NPRE courses 446/447/521 primarily focus on single interaction event. Theis course, built on the knowledge of single event, extends to mutiple 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 to discussing the collective manifestation of the multiple events on the thermodynamic, structural and kinetic properties of materials. Relevvant aomistic simulation and numberical methods will be introduced througout the course. Prerequisite: NPRE 446 or consent of instructor.
