Physics and Nuclear Arms Today is a collection of the best articles written about the arms race which appeared in Physics Today between 1976 and 1989. The articles explore a wide variety of topical issues such as the effects of nuclear weapons, nuclear testing, offensive strategic weapons, defensive SDI or Star Wars weapons, nuclear nonproliferation and the social responsibility of scientists as well as a wide selection of articles which chronicle the history of nuclear weaponry. The authors also represent a broad spectrum of well known names in the physics community including Andrei Sakharov, Sidney Drell, Wolfgang Panofsky, Edward Teller, Frank von Hippel, Victor Weiskopf, and Freeman Dyson. Of interest to physicists interested in arms control issues, nuclear weapons, and international relations; science and defense policy makers.
The Super Field Theory Workshop, held at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, Canada July 25 - August 5, 1986 was originally intended to be a sequel to the 1983 Chalk River Workshop on Kaluza-Klein Theories and the 1985 Workshop on Quantum Field Theories held at the University of Western Ontario. The scope of the workshop was therefore not to be very big, with a program of about 20 papers, an anticipated 30 to 45 participants, and with much time scheduled for discussion and personal contact. These goals were soon changed in the face of wide interest in the workshop, both for participation and for giving talks, so that the workshop materialized with about 90 participants and 40 talks.

The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists is the premier public resource on scientific and technological developments that impact global security. Founded by Manhattan Project Scientists, the Bulletin's iconic "Doomsday Clock" stimulates solutions for a safer world.
How feasible and how vital is the achievement of a meaningful test limitation treaty? This book presents a wide range of authoritative expertise and opinion as an informed contribution to the debate among governmental experts and the informed public.
"A fascinating, timely, and often disturbing history of how underground do-it-yourself weapons manuals have influenced violent radicalism, and how the state has responded"--
Analytic expressions for the Slater integrals Fk and Gk are derived using the screened hydrogenic orbitals. The Slater integrals in this form are functions of the principal and the orbital angular momentum quantum numbers of the two electrons, and also the scaled (or effective) nuclear charges for the two electrons. Expressions are also derived for the partial derivatives of the Slater integrals. The functional dependence of the Slater integrals and their partial derivative upon the quantum numbers and the scaled nuclear charges is partially separated, which makes it especially convenient to use them in a machine program for calculating the screening parameters. The Slater integrals and their partial derivatives are evaluated for numerous cases of interest (up to n = 9). The calculations of the screening parameters for many-electron atoms, based on Layzer's variational theory, are described. Total energies, excited-state energies, ionization potentials, spin-orbit integrals, and transition integrals have been calculated for numerous atomic systems using screened hydrogenic orbitals.
