  Nuclear Dynamics lecture notes (graduate course, Spring 2026)

  2026
  Complete lecture notes, covering relativistic kinematics, classical and quantum scattering, partial wave expansion, formal scattering theory, compound nucleus reactions, direct reactions, high-energy reactions. The reader is expected to be reasonably familiar with undergraduate quantum mechanics, as well as some concepts from graduate quantum (treatment of the hydrogen atom, orbital angular momentum and spin, and the braket notation).
