Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics/28-1992: (Progress in Particle & Nuclear Physics)

Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics is a series of volumes which gathers together papers discussing new developments in the field. Emphasis is placed on publishing articles that explore the interface between particle and nuclear physics, especially such matters as the role of mesons, isobars and quarks in nuclear structure and the use of complex nuclei for probing fundamental particle symmetries. This volume of Progress in Particle and Nuclear Physics publishes the proceedings of the Erice International Workshop on Gamma Ray Spectroscopy. The workshops bring together internationally recognized experts in the field together with young scientists. The experts give reviews of the current status of a topic, followed by seminars, discussions and special workshops. These proceedings publish 44 papers providing a comprehensive and copiously illustrated overview of this rapidly expanding field.
