Intersections of Particle and Nuclear Physics
- Book Review,
by Zohreh Parsa (Editor)
From Book News, Inc.
This proceedings of the May 2003 conference addresses areas of research which overlap among nuclear physics, particle astrophysics, and high energy physics. The 169 papers explore lepton hadron scattering, symmetry, neutrinos, light quarks and leptons, heavy quarks and leptons, quantum chromodynamic spectroscopy, spin, relativistic heavy ions, accelerators, and detectors. The opening talks survey recent progress in the electromagnetic and weak structure of nucleons, the magnetic dipole moments of the electron and muon, and analyzing results from the Wilkinson microwave anisotropy probe and the KLOE detector. No subject index is provided in the book, but the papers are searchable in Adobe Acrobat format on the CD-ROM.Copyright © 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
Book Description
The purpose of this meeting, as with the seven previous conferences in this series, was to bring together particle and nuclear physicists to share scientific reports and discuss areas of research which overlap both their disciplines. Its relevance has steadily grown as the areas of overlap between particle and nuclear physics have increased. In addition, the success of the standard model has provided a common underpinning for both disciplines as well as similar fundamental goals. Indeed, Quantum Chromodynamics (QCD) has proven to be "the" theory of strong interactions. As such, it forms the basis for nuclear physics as well as high energy hadronic interactions. Topics included are: QCD spectroscopy and dynamics, relativistic heavy ions, QCD and nuclear structure, lepton-hadron and hadron-hadron scattering, heavy quark and heavy lepton physics, spin physics, nuclear and particle astrophysics, neutrinos, accelerators, facilities and detectors, as well as tests of fundamental symmetries.
