| Semester | fall semester 2018 |
| Course frequency | Irregular |
| Lecturers | Thomas Rauscher (thomas.rauscher@unibas.ch, Assessor) |
| Content | Introduction to Nuclear Astrophysics (nuclear physics, nuclear reaction theory, thermodynamics); nucleosynthesis in the early universe; nuclear processes in stars. The course is the first part of two. The second part will be following in another semester. Bitte die Teilnahmebedingungen beachten! |
| Bibliography | Course materials will be provided. |
| Comments | By default, the lectures are presented in German. On request, the lectures can be held in English. Additional literature, some course materials and some exercises will be in English, anyway. The second part of the course (to be held in another semester) covers stellar models, supernovae, explosive nuclear burning. If Nuclear Astrophysics is considered for a Master exam, attending both parts is strongly recommended. |

| Admission requirements | Since this course prepares the student for working in the field of nuclear astrophysics, a strong background in nuclear physics and astrophysics is required. Minimum requirement is having attended and passed the physics courses "Kern- und Teilchenphysik" (Krusche), "Astrophysik und Kosmologie" (Binggeli, Rauscher, Liebendörfer), "Thermodynamik und statistische Mechanik", "Quantentheorie". |

| Assessment format | continuous assessment |
| Assessment details | Exercise sessions are integrated into the course and passing them is a prerequisite for being awarded credit points. They supplement the content covered in the lectures. Active and continuing participation in lectures and exercises is essential. The 4 CP will be awarded after having passed the exercises and a final, written exam in the last week of the semester. |
