Content, Learning Outcome and Preconditions
Content
The lecture starts with the early, still quite simple experimental setups in order to study the nuclear force, in order to motivate the ongoing, often very elaborate research activities that aim to clarify the least known aspects of the strong force. Some key publications are discussed in detail, focusing on processes at intermediate energies which are governed by fundamental symmetries and a rich resonance spectrum. Of special interest is the chiral symmetry, which can be used for a systematic perturbation calculus , featuring high predictive power for the ongoing experimental studies. This approach allows for testing the quark substructure of matter complementary to deep-inelastic scattering.
Learning Outcome
After successful participation in the module, the students are able to understand experiments with strongly interacting particles, allowing to take on responsible work within the usually larger groups. The elementary interactions of protons, neutrons, pions and more strongly-interacting particles can be handled in detail, and used in estimates of planned experiments and in data analysis.
Preconditions
Successful participation in a particle and quantum physics module, whose concepts will be recapitulated.

Module Exam
Description of exams and course work
In a written exam the learning outcome is tested using comprehension questions and sample problems.
In accordance with §12 (8) APSO the exam can be done as an oral exam. In this case the time duration is 25 minutes.
Exam Repetition
The exam may be repeated at the end of the semester.
