Product Description
With the advent of the Superconducting Super Collider and other new technologies, coupled with the development of particle astrophysics and other non-accelerator based physics, research in high energy particle physics in the nineties promises to break into new and exciting frontiers. To chart the directions and opportunities for this new decade, the 1990 Summer Study on high energy physics was organized in Snowmass, Colorado. Like previous Snowmass Summer Studies, it plays a key role in shaping research directions and in drawing the particle physics community together. This book of the proceedings examines the full spectrum of important scientific issues and opportunities in high energy particle physics in the decade of the 1990s, including research at existing and anticipated hadron-hadron, e+e-, and ep colliders; research at fixed-target facilities; the scientific potential of possible new facilities such as B-factories; particle astrophysics and non-accelerator based physics; and accelerator and detector initiatives. It also discusses the physics and technical aspects of the initial superconducting super collider experimental program.This volume, therefore, offers a glimpse into the future of high energy physics, and makes essential reading for all physicists interested in assessing the exciting new research opportunities the future technologies would bring. ...

Product Description
The VIII Latin American Symposium on Nuclear Physics and Applications (LASNPA) covered many topics including nuclear structure and reactions; nuclear and particle astrophysics; the study of matter and the strong force in the framework of quantum chromodynamics (QCD); tests of fundamental symmetries and the properties of neutrinos; applications of nuclear physics in medicine, art/archeology, energy, and national security; and advances in nuclear instrumentation and facilities. The meeting also included plenary presentations on the nuclear energy issue that attracted significant local media attention. These LASNPA Symposia are playing a key role in establishing and forging links among the many nuclear physics communities in Latin America. And with the growing importance of these meetings, it is anticipated that the LASNPA will continue to strengthen nuclear science within and throughout Latin America and will serve as a springboard for further strengthening ties between the Latin American nuclear physics communities and their colleagues worldwide. ...

Product Description
The various phenomena caused by refraction and diffraction of polarized elementary particles in matter have opened up a new research area in the particle physics: nuclear optics of polarized particles. Effects similar to the well-known optical phenomena such as birefringence and Faraday effects, exist also in particle physics, though the particle wavelength is much less than the distance between atoms of matter. Current knowledge of the quasi-optical effects, which exist for all particles in any wavelength range (and energies from low to extremely high), will enable us to investigate different properties of interacting particles (nuclei) in a new aspect. This pioneering book will provide detailed accounts of quasi-optical phenomena in the particle polarization, and will interest physicists and professionals in experimental particle physics. ...
