The frontiers of beam research point to increasingly high energy, greater brightness and lower emittance beams with ever-increasing particle species. These demands in turn have triggered a rapidly growing number of beam phenomena that involve quantum effects. Concurrently, the violent accelerations which are becoming available through novel accelerator research may, perhaps, help to investigate fundamental physics associated with general relativity. In view of these exciting developments and the important role they may play in the next century, the world's first conference on the 'Quantum Aspects of Beam Physics', held at Monterey, California, in January 1998, attracted a broad spectrum of experts from beam physics, particle physics, laser science, astrophysics, condensed matter physics, nuclear and atomic physics. At the end of the meeting, a new term 'quantum beam physics' was coined.This book collects together the excellent reviews and papers on new advances in the field which were presented during the workshop. It should be a valuable reference to all physicists interested in the frontiers of quantum beam physics.
The Asia-Pacific Conferences on Few-Body Problems in Physics tackle cover the various aspects of few-body systems in physics, with high caliber contributions from internationally renowned researchers. Readers will gain a clear picture of the latest developments in the field in both the theoretical and experimental sectors.The scope of these proceedings covers research in the following areas: three-body forces and few-nucleon dynamics, hadron structure and QCD; exotic hadrons and atoms; effective field theory in few-body physics; electromagnetic and weak processes in few-body systems; few-body dynamics in atoms, molecules, Bose-Einstein condensates and quantum dots; few-body approaches to unstable nuclei, nuclear astrophysics and nuclear clustering aspects; and hypernuclear physics.
This workshop covered the general field of advanced particle accelerators, exploring the science and technology of a multitude of novel acceleration schemes. Various schemes under study utilize combinations of plasmas, laser beams, dielectric materials, and RF power. The development of technologies that will enable the design of future high energy physics machines is the underlying goal of this workshop.
Annotation Proceedings of the December 1993 symposium celebrating 40 years of researcher Sessler's scientific contributions to accelerator and beam physics. Topics include linear colliders; manipulating charged particle beams and light by means of plasma; collective instabilities in accelerator and storage rings; possible applications of plasma lens in high energy physics; and excitation of accelerating wakefields in inhomogeneous plasmas. Includes essays on Sessler's term as director of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, his human rights activism, and his education, career, and personal life.

A survey and census of particle physicists employed in the U.S., commissioned by the U.S. Dept. of Energy, NSF, and the Division of Particles and Fields of the American Physical Society. The survey was conducted in 1995, with an update of the census in April 1997. The full survey questionnaires are shown. The primary one was addressed to individual particle physicists, while the secondary one was addressed to principal investigators and sought information about people leaving the field. Extensive directory information.
This volume covers all aspects of particle detection using calorimetric techniques. The emphasis is on methods currently employed in existing detectors, with some articles devoted to techniques under development.
