2. Brief description of the modules
Radioactivity is a specialized course that provides students with a fundamental understanding of the properties and laws governing basic radioactive decay processes such as alpha decay, beta decay, and gamma emission. The course also introduces theoretical calculation models based on quantum mechanics and quantum electrodynamics to describe the probability of transitions in each decay. This knowledge serves as a crucial foundation for students to study and comprehend advanced courses in nuclear physics, nuclear engineering, and medical physics
