Fundamental & applied aspects of modern physics : Lüderitz 2000 : proceedings of the International Conference on Fundamental and Applied Aspects of Modern Physics : Lüderitz, Namibia, 13-17 November 2000

This volume is a compilation of significant papers by leading scientists exploring exciting frontiers of physics. It presents the latest results in well-defined fields as well as fields represented by the interfaces between mainstream sciences. G 't Hooft is the 1999 Nobel Laureate in Physics and A Richter is the Stern-Gerlach prize recipient of 2000. Contents: Nuclear Physics and Applied Nuclear Physics; Atomic Physics and Applied Atomic Physics; Elementary Particle Physics; Neutrino Physics and Nuclear Astrophysics; Atomic and Nuclear Physics in the Study of Diamond; Applications of Pure and Annotation Nearly 50 contributions from international scientists discuss recent research in atomic, nuclear, elementary particle and astro- physics in honor of Friedel Sellschop on his 70th birthday. A sampling of topics includes chiral symmetry restoration in nuclei, common features of particle multiplicites in heavy-ion collisions, and hydrogen mobility in diamond. Three papers examine policy issues such as government support for scientific programs. The volume is not indexed. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
