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.
