Course description

During the course we learn about the current methods describing nuclear reaction from low to high energies: hydrodynamical models, time dependent Hartree-Fock approximation, random phase approximation, Vlasov dynamics, optical potential, Boltzmann–Uehling–Uhlenbeck model, description of fermionic systems, equations of state, collective excitations, relativistic kinematics and hydrodynamics, description of particle production and phase transitions in nulcear physics (multifragmentation, chiral, etc.)
