Nuclear physics is governed by the strong force („quarks“), forwhich we do not have a simple, easy-to-handle mathematical form (like the Coulomb law). Adopt and apply (if possible) models and descriptions from other fields (shell model, concept of temperature, superconductivity, pairing).
And vice versa:Use methods and ideas originating from nuclear physics (elementaryparticle physics) in other fields.

Smaller dimensions – higher energies
Compare light microscopy
E=hν=hc/λ c= νλ
E=p2/2m p=ħk=h/λ de Broglie-wavelength
Λ= ħc/mc2 Compton wavelength
Bigger „machines“ !

1. Basics - TerminologyEnergy, stable and unstable nuclei, transformations by decay, - by reactions, decay law.
Useful units:
1 fm (femtometer) = 10-15 m speed of light (in vacuum) c = 2.998 · 1023 fm/scharge e = 1.602 · 10-19 C
background (typical) 1 count/min, comparable activity neededNumber of atoms = Activity x mean life
4 ·109 = 1 decay/min x 8000 a
small decay constants (long lifetime) it is better to countatoms rather than decays!
For C, chemistry helps (no stable negative 14N-ion), no interference with 14C (Ion source etc.)
