Product Description: In recent years, a new field of nuclear research has been opened through the possibility of studying nuclei wi\h very large values of angular momentum, temperature, pressure and number of particles. This development has been closely associated with heavy ion reactions, since collisions between two heavy nuclei are especially effective in producing metastable compound systems with large angular momentum, and in transferring energy which is distributed over the whole nuclear volume...read more

Product Description: Seven years after the first experiments in the new field of Nuclear Physics, the Highly Relativistic Heavy Ion Physics, the Nato-Advanced- Study-Institute on the 'Particle Production in Highly Excited Matter' was held from July 12 till July 24, 1992, at Il Ciocco, Castelvecchio Pascoli, near Lucca in Italy...read more

Ladies and gentlemen, dear colleagues, welcome to Kemer to the NATO Advanced Study Institute Structure and Dynamics of Elementary Matter. We have chosen Kemer as the place of our NASI because it is located in a be- tiful and hospitable surrounding. This part of the Mediterranean at the Turkish Riviera is a historic region where many cultures meet (e.g., the Oriental and the Greek and Roman European cultures) and where you ?nd numerous places which played a role in ancient science and in early Christianity. Moreover, with the hotel Ceylan Inter-Continental we have found a most excellent me- ing place, directly located at the beach, equipped with wonderful swimming pools and restaurants – an absolutely ?rst-class location. Our NASIwill deal withthemost recent developmentsin high-energyheavy ionphysicsandinthesearchforsuperheavynuclei–tworatherdistinctareasof research. Indeed, we want to bring two very active communities of nuclear and high-energy physics into close contact. The meeting is both a school and has also the character of a conference: A school because there are many advanced students, many of which are themselves already top researchers and who are contributing with their own research in seminars and posters. It is also a c- ference because new results in the exciting and wonderful ?elds of low- and high-energy heavy ion physics will be presented. We are mainly focussing on the topics of superheavy elements and of hot and dense nuclear matter.

Product Description: The proceedings of the 4th Italy-Japan Symposium on Heavy Ion Physics cover the following fields of nuclear physics: heavy ion nuclear reactions; nuclei under extreme conditions; nuclear astrophysics; photon detectors and physics; technology of RI beams and experimental instrumentation; application of RI beams...read more

Product Description: The last few years have seen great progress in the understanding of nuclei far from stability, that is, nuclei with a composition that differs radically from that of the stable nuclei encountered in nature. It has become clear that the study of exotic nuclear species reveals many new phenomena, which may take scientists back, armed with new insight, to more familiar nuclear systems...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: This symposium was organized in order to discuss recent developments and future perspectives in intermediate-energy heavy-ion physics. The subjects included sub-barrier fusion, superheavy elements, fission; halo, skin nuclei, multi-fragmentation, collective flow, compression; properties of hot nuclei; high spin and exotic nuclear shapes; nuclear astrophysics; applications; and facilities...read more (view table of contents, read Amazon.com's description)

Product Description: This collection of papers looks at the major developments that have taken place in the study of the nuclear paradigm as a result of detector and accelerator development, and of improved theoretical models. The active use of 4-pi detectors to measure the gamma decay of excited nuclei has been instrumental in exploring the consequences of extremely high rotational frequencies and excitation energies in the nuclear structure...read more

Product Description: A collection of essays presented to the conference on nuclear physics in 1991.

Product Description: This volume aims to help young scientists become familiar with new concepts and results of both theoretical and experimental nuclear physics. Based on the annual International Summer School in Nuclear Physics held at the University of Warsaw, Poland, the lectures are presented to graduate students by nuclear scientists, predominantly from USA, Europe and Japan...read more

Product Description: Heavy Ions in Nuclear and Atomic Physics, an area of growing interest, aims to familiarise graduate students with new concepts and results in both the theoretical and experimental aspects of this sphere of physics. Based on the 1988 annual International Summer School in Nuclear Physics, organized by Warsaw University, Heavy Ions in Nuclear and Atomic Physics brings together invited papers on a diversity of topics...read more
