Intersections between Particle and Nuclear Physics: 6th Conference, Vol. 412 FROM THE PUBLISHER
The Proceedings of the 6th Conference on Intersections Between Particle and Nuclear Physics contains papers from astrophysicists and nuclear and particle physicists from 21 countries. The topics discussed cover many subjects, from relativistic heavy ion physics and high-energy tests of QCD, which require the highest energy accelerators, to low-energy tests of the electroweak standard model. The energy range extended from physics with ultracold neutrons, involving kinetic energies below 10-6 eV to cosmic ray physics, studying primaries at an energy of 1020 eV. There are many connections between topics, such as the role of strange quarks in neutron stars or as possible signal of a quark-gluon plasma. There are new results including neutrino physics from Super-Kamiokande and evidence for a glueball mixed into the scalar mesons. There are also reviews of topics such as CP violation, lepton-flavor violation, and charm physics.

Proceedings of a spring 1996 conference attended by nuclear, particle, and astrophysicists. Contains sections on relativistic heavy ions and facilities for research, tests of fundamental symmetrics, hadron spectroscopy, lepton probes of hadron structure, hadron dynamics, meson and lepton decays, physics with strangeness and charm, neutrino and non-accelerator physics, and particle and nuclear astrophysics. Specific subjects include lepton flavor violation, polarized beam for the TRIUMF parity violation experiment, the search for antiproton decay at the Fermilab antiproton accumulator, strangeness production with the SAPHIR detector, and strange stars.
