Nuclear and Particle Physics (Practical)
· This course introduces students to the methods of experimental physics.
· Emphasis is given on laboratory techniques such as accuracy of measurements.
· The concepts that are learnt in the lecture sessions are translated to the laboratory sessions thus providing a hands-on learning experience.
