Study Of Parity And Time Reversal Violation In Neutron Nucleus Interactions

Nuclear Dynamics At Long And Short Distances: Proceedings Of The 1st International Conf

The International Conference on Nuclear Dynamics at Long and Short Distances was the first meeting to be jointly organised by nuclear physicists from Brazil and Argentina. Its main goal was to provide an update on the status of current research in nuclear physics through lectures by experts, and to gather scientists to discuss ideas that might help to define future research programmes in low energy nuclear physics in both countries.

Weak and Electromagnetic Interactions in Nuclei

Nuclear physics is presently experiencing a thrust towards fundamental phy sics questions. Low-energy experiments help in testing beyond today's stan dard models of particle physics. The search for finite neutrino masses and neutrino oscillations, for proton decay, rare and forbidden muon and pion de cays, for an electric dipole moment of the neutron denote some of the efforts to test today's theories of grand unification (GUTs, SUSYs, Superstrings, ... ) complementary to the search for new particles and symmetries in high-energy experiments. The close connections between the laws of microphysics, astrophysics and cosmology open further perspectives. This concerns, to mention some of them, properties of exotic nuclei and nuclear matter, and star evolution; the neutrino and the dark matter in the universe; relations between grand unification and evolution of the early universe. The International Symposium on Weak and Electromagnetic Interactions in Nuclei (W.E.LN. 1986)' held in Heidelberg 1-5 July 1986, in conjunction with the 600th anniversary of the University of Heidelberg, brought together experts in the fields of nuclear and particle physics, astrophysics and cosmol ogy.
