A well-designed introduction to experimental and theoretical nuclear physics that will help graduate students and researchers alike bridge the gap between what is known about nucleon-meson nuclear physics and what will be learned from future research in quark-lepton nuclear physics. The book describes nuclear physics in terms of hadron-meson dynamics and then in terms of quark-lepton dynamics. Chapters cover such topics as elastic and inelastic scattering; spin-isospin responses and charge exchange reactions; giant resonances; nuclear clusters; and nuclear physics with strange flavor. The...

This volume describes baryon models constructed from quarks, mesons and chiral symmetry. The roles of chiral symmetry and of quark model structure with SU (6) spin-flavour symmetry are discussed in detail, starting from a pedagogic approach. Emphasis is placed on symmetry aspects of the theories. As an application, the chiral bag model is studied for nucleon structure, where important methods of theoretical physics, mostly related to the semiclassical approach for a system of strong interactions, are demonstrated. This text is more practical than formal; tools and ideas are explained in...

The NEWS99 international symposium discusses symmetries in electroweak processes in nuclei. Many phenomena in nuclear and particle physics are related to symmetry. It is known that we are living in a left-handed world as far as the Weak interaction is concerned, but neutrino physics suggests that a right-handed world may also be relevant. Chiral symmetry and its breaking plays an essential role in generating hadron masses. Symmetries related to flavor in the strong interaction like isospin, SU(3) and so on are known to be violated although they play a crucial role for the understanding of...

Relativity plays an important role in atomic nuclei, and, since the early 1970s, there has been increasing interest in, and literature on, the nucleus as a relativistic system. In fact, the relativistic treatment provides a powerful method to describe nuclear structure and reactions. It is thus an ideal time to collect and review the important landmarks in this book. Directed to advanced students and researchers, it explains both the underlying relativistic theory and compares predictions with actual experiments.
