Advances in Nuclear Dynamics 2 / Edition 1

by Wolfgang Bauer, Gary D. Westfall

Overview

The 12th Winter Workshop on Nuclear Dynamics carried on the tradition, started in 1978, of bringing together scientists working in all regimes of nuclear dynamics. This broad range of related topics allows the researcher attending the Workshop to be exposed to work that normally would be considered outside his/her field, but could po­ tentially add a new dimension to the understanding of his/her work. At Snowbird, we brought together experimentalists working with heavy ion beams from 10 MeV/nucleon up to 200 GeV /nucleon and theoretical physicists working in diverse areas ranging from antisymmetrized fermionic dynamics to perturbative quantum chromo dynamics. Fu­ ture work at RHIC was discussed also, with presentations from several of the experimen­ tal groups. In addition, several talks addressed issues of cross-disciplinary relevance, from the study of water-drop-collisions, to the multi-fragmentation of buckyballs. Clearly the field of nuclear dynamics has a bright future. The understanding of the nuclear equation of state in all of its manifestations is being expanded on all fronts both theoretically and experimentally. Future Workshops on Nuclear Dynamics will certainly have much progress to report. Gary D.

Editorial Reviews

Scientists from a wide range of areas in nuclear dynamics share their perspectives with specialists in other areas and discuss cross-discipline concerns. Among the 53 topics are the dynamics of density fluctuations in a non-Markovian Boltzmann-Langevin model, vector meson production in heavy ion collisions, the search for the decay of non-compact geometries, neutral particle measurements and searches with the E864 spectrometer, the scaling function of nuclear matter, the search for exotic shapes in liquid-drop collisions, the interactions of high-energy highly charged ions with Fullerenes, and the formation and hadronization of quark matter.
