REPORT ON THE DNP FALL MEETING AT ASILOMAR Plenary Session CONFERENCE CENTER IN PACIFIC GROVE, CA, 20-23 OCTOBER 1993 The Plenary Session, "Basic Nuclear A well attended and highly successful Physics: Funding, Applications, Future DNP meeting was held at Asilomar, CA Directions", took place Thursday morning with over 600 registered attendees and before a full house. The theme was in tune many guests. The weather was sunny and with the presentations of previous years, mild for the entire week. The exciting focussing on basic nuclear physics, the science and the pleasant ambiance of future of the field, and its intersection with Asilomar facilitated many informal societal concerns. discussions beneath the cypress trees, out on the sand dunes, and on the beach. On Robert Eisenstein, Director of the behalf of the membership, the DNP Physics Division at the NSF, opened the Session with a brief overview of the lensing effect as it passed behind a Foundation Budget and of the supposed "massive compact halo object" programmatic activities of the physics (MACHO) located in our Galaxy.

The field strength Ff. describes electromagnetism. In 1959 Bohm and Aharonov presented a paper In which they pointed out the signi­ ficance of electromagnetic potentials in quantum theory and actually suggested. Interference experiments to detect how potentials would affect the passage of electrons through field free regions. In a multiply connected, region even if F^=o everywhere, there are physical experiments for which the outcome depends on the loop integral: OA^dx'^ he around on unshrinkable loop. It has been realised that in fact only the phose factor exp (i0A,dxe) in meaningful and phase invariance (gauge invariance) is the correct quantum mechanical, characterisation of electromagnetism. The idea has in recent years been generalised by replacing the simple phase of complex numbers with more complicated phase-an element of a Lie group. Few effects in physics have the distinctions of going through extensive debates and experimentations to settle the nuances as in AB effect. The contro­ versial aspects of AB effect concern mainly its interpretation. To quote Bohm "Now in my view, the fact that our informal discussion of interaction in terms of forces has been shown to be irrevalent implies the need, for a new kind of informal discussion of this question.

    Cambridge University Press 0521780438 - Electron Scattering for Nuclear and Nucleon Structure John Dirk Walecka Excerpt More information Part 1 Introduction © Cambridge University Press www.cambridge.org Cambridge University Press 0521780438 - Electron Scattering for Nuclear and Nucleon Structure John Dirk Walecka Excerpt More information 1 Motivation This monograph is concerned with the study of nuclear and nucleon structure through the scattering of high energy electrons. The history of this field is well summarized in the proceedings of the Conference on 35 Years of Electron Scattering held at the University of Illinois in 1986 to commemorate the 1951 experiment of Lyman,Hanson,and Scott; this experiment provided the first observation of the finite size of the nucleus by electron scattering [Ly51,Il87]. Hofstadter and his colleagues,working in the High Energy Physics Laboratory (HEPL) at Stanford University in the late 1950’s,beautifully and systematically exhibited the shape of the charge distributions of nuclei and nucleons through experiments at higher momentum transfer [Ho56,Ho63]. Subsequent experimental work at HEPL,the Bates Laboratory at M.I.T.,Saclay in France,NIKHEF in Holland,and both Darmstadt and Mainz in Germany (as well as other laboratories),utilizing parallel theoretical analysis [Gu34,Sc54,Al56, de66,Ub71],clearly exhibited more detailed aspects of nuclear structure. Experiments at higher electron energies and momentum transfers at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) by Friedman,Kendall,and Taylor,together with theoretical developments by Bjorken,for the first time demonstrated the pointlike quark–parton substructure of nucleons and nuclei [Bj69,Fr72]. This work played a key role in the development of modern theories of the strong interaction.

  • Electron Scattering for Nuclear and Nucleon Structure John Dirk Walecka Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 0521780438 - Electron Scattering for Nuclear and Nucleon Structure John Dirk Walecka Frontmatter More information Electron Scattering for Nuclear and Nucleon Structure The scattering of high-energy electrons from nuclear and nucleon targets provides a mi- croscope for examining the structure of these tiny objects. The best evidence we have on what nuclei and nucleons actually look like comes from electron scattering. This book examines the motivation for electron scattering and develops the theoretical analysis of the process. It discusses our current theoretical understanding of the underlying structure of nuclei and nucleons at appropriate levels of resolution and sophsitication,and summa- rizes present experimental electron scattering capabilities. Only a working knowledge of quantum mechanics and special relativity is assumed,making this a suitable textbook for graduate and advanced undergraduate courses. It will also provide a valuable summary and reference for researchers already working in electron scattering and other areas of nuclear and particle physics. john dirk waleka obtained his PhD in nuclear theory from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1958. He was professor of Physics at Stanford University from 1966 to 1987 and then went on to become Scientific Director of the Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) from 1986 to 1992. He is now Govenor’s Distinguished CEBAF Professor of Physics at the College of William and Mary. His research interests cover theoretical nuclear and sub-nuclear physics,in particular nuclear structure,the relativistic nuclear many-body problem,strong coupling QCD,and electroweak interactions with nuclei. He has published numerous papers on nuclear physics,and in 1996 the American Physical Society recognized his work with the award of the Bonner Prize.
