Frontiers of Nuclear Structure Physics: Proceedings of the International Symposium Held in Honor of Akito Arima, 2-5 March 1994.

This is the proceedings of the symposium on Frontiers of Nuclear Structure Physics which was held from March 2–5, 1994, in honor of Akito Arima.

Nuclear structure physics is approaching a new era owing to various recent developments such as radioactive nuclear beams, multiple gamma-ray detectors, massive parallel computers, etc.

In the near future RHIC, CEBAF and other facilities will further extend the horizons of the field and this meeting offered a look at these exciting possibilities ahead.

Topics discussed included (i) new trends in shell model, (ii) electroweak interactions in nuclei, (iii) unstable nuclei, (iv) Interacting Boson Model, (v) proton-neutron degrees of freedom in nuclear collectivity, (vi) quarks in hadrons and nuclei, (vii) nuclear astrophysics, (viii) nuclear and atomic clusters.Contents:A Frontier of Shell Model Calculation: Large-Scale Calculation with G-Matrix Interaction in Middle pf-Shell (H Nakada)Universal Correlations of Collective Observables: Empirical Phenomenology and Model Interpretations (R F Castern et al)Interacting Boson Model for O(6) Nuclei (T Otsuka & T Mizusaki) Scattering of GeV Electrons by Nuclei (V R Pandharipand)Collective String-Like Model of Baryons (F Iachell)Nuclear Spin Responses in Astroparticle Physics (H Ejiri & M Fujiwara)Effective Interactions for Hypernuclei (T T S Kuo)Signature and Parity Splitting in Rotational Bands: Double Minimum Potential Model (R V Jolos et al)Some Current Topics in Nuclear Structure at Drip Lines (I Hamamoto)Nuclear Astrophysics with Secondary (Radioactive) Beams (M Gai)Chiral Perturbation in Dense Matter and Meson Condensation Controversy (K Kubodera)and other papersReadership: Nuclear physicists.
