Advance Information QUARKS, NUCLEI AND STARS Memorial Volume Dedicated to Gerald E Brown Edited by Jeremy W Holt (Texas A&M University, USA), Thomas T S Kuo (Stony Brook University, USA), Kok Khoo Phua (NTU, Singapore), Mannque Rho (CEA Saclay, France) & Ismail Zahed (Stony Brook University, USA) Description: Pub Date: May 2017 This memorial volume is dedicated to physicist Gerald E Brown (1926–2013) or ‘Gerry’ as he Binding: Hardcover was known to his many students, postdocs, colleagues and friends. As written by one of the ISBN: 978-981-3220-64-5 contributors to this book, “Gerry was an inspiring father figure for generations of theoretical nuclear physicists and a great human being”. Price: £106 Page Extent: 536pp This book covers a wide range of topics in nuclear physics, including nuclear structure, two- Type: Review Volume and three-body nuclear forces, strangeness nuclear physics, chiral symmetry, hadrons in Main Subject: Physics dense medium, hidden local symmetry, heavy quark symmetry, cosmic neutrinos, nuclear double-beta decay, neutron stars, gravitational waves, renormalization group methods, Sub-subjects: Nuclear Physics exotic nuclei, electron ion collider (EIC), and much more. Most of the authors are Gerry’s BIC: PHP former students and collaborators. BISAC: SCI051000; SCI055000 Keywords: Gerry Brown; Nuclei; We hope readers will find this book very interesting not only for its physics content but Neutron Stars; Quarks; Chiral also for the window it gives into Gerry’s personal legacy and humanity. This book has vivid Symmetry; Baryons recollections of Gerry at Stony Brook, Princeton and Copenhagen, together with his humor and his very special intuitive way of thinking.
