The Nucleus New Physics for the New Millennium [Hardcover]

The articles in this book cover a broad range of topics in the field of nuclear physics, including many articles on the subject of high spin physics. With an emphasis on the discussion and analysis of future developments within a number of significant areas, the book's attempt to address the status of research at the beginning of the next century is to be welcomed by researchers and students alike.Proceedings of the International Conference on The Nucleus: New Physics for the New Millennium, held January 18-22, 1999, at the National Accelerator Centre, Faure, South AfricaThe articles in this book cover a broad range of topics in the field of nuclear physics, including many articles on the subject of high spin physics.
