Profile
NucPhys is a 2-years Erasmus+: Erasmus Mundus Joint Master Degree programme in Nuclear Physics (120 ECTS). The programme started in 2017-2018 as an Erasmus Mundus / Erasmus+ Master Course of the European Union. This initial project has been running for three intakes. Then a new improved proposal was financed by the EACEA within the Erasmus Mundus Masters program for four additional intakes, starting in 2020-2021. In this new scheme, the Master Course is offered by a consortium of 7 partner universities in Spain, France and Italy, with the participation of more than 30 research institutions/companies as associated partners all around the World (Spain, France, Italy, Germany, Romania, Switzerland (CERN), México, Brazil, Argentina, Canada, South-Africa, Morocco, Japan, etc).Nuclear Physics is a broad matter of relevance from both the fundamental knowledge of Nature and the multiple applications to different fields of strategic economical relevance. Consequently, in this Master, fundamental theory and experiments as well as applications will be presented.Fundamental Nuclear Physics, theory and experiments, is rapidly evolving from studies of nuclei close to the valley of beta-stability towards a description of vast regions of short-lived and exotic nuclei far from stability and at the nucleon drip-lines. These new results involving halo and borromean nuclei, superheavy elements, exotic radiactivity, etc. call for new theoretical an experimental developments in the understanding of both the structure and the relevant reaction mechanisms. Many open fundamental questions have to be addressed theoretical and experimentally, as for instance:- What are the fundamental properties of strongly interacting matter as a function of temperature and density?- How can the rich variety of low-energy structure and reactions of nuclei be described in terms of the fundamental interactions between individual particles?- How can the evolution of nuclear collective and single-particle properties be predicted as functions of mass, iso-spin, angular momentum and temperature?- How do regular and simple patterns emerge in the structure of complex nuclei?- What are the key variables governing the dynamics between colliding composite systems of nucleons?- How and where are the elements made?- Can one understand the critical reactions that drive the energy generation and the associated synthesis of new elements in the stars?- What are the properties of dense matter in a hyper-compact object such as a neutron star?- How does the fate of a star depend on the nuclear reactions that control its evolution?
