Summary

The subject deepens the knowledge of elementary particles and atoms, as a composed corpuscule (symmetric and antisymmetric wave functions). The classic and quantum theories of scattering, properties and models of the atomic nucleus form the basis of the subject (nucleus of atom). Detailed description of nuclear conversions (mononuclear, binuclear and multinuclear) is needed to studying atomic energy, which includes nuclear fission and fusion and the controlled thermonuclear reaction.
