This book is a tribute to the life and work of J Q Chen. The contributions of Chen to nuclear and molecular physics are discussed vis-à-vis present developments in these fields. Among other subjects, the present status of microscopic theories of the interacting boson model in nuclear physics and the theory of symmetry adaptation of molecular vibrations in molecular physics are reviewed. The latter theory is particularly useful for large molecular species such as fullerenes, where icosahedral symmetry plays a fundamental role.

This book contains the proceedings of the Gregory Breit Centennial Symposium. The legacy of Breit to atomic, nuclear and particle physics is discussed vis-à-vis modern developments in these fields. Among other subjects, the present status of the Breit interaction in atomic physics and of the nucleon–nucleon interaction are reviewed. The second part of the book contains a more in-depth presentation of the status of modern nuclear physics, from relativistic heavy ion physics to nuclear structure physics and nuclear astrophysics. The recently confirmed discovery of supersymmetry in nuclei is also discussed. Contents:Topics from High Precision Test of Quantum Electrodynamics (T Kinoshita)Helium Fine Structure, from Breit Interaction to Precise Laser Spectroscopy (F Minardi & M Inguscio)The Isotope Shift (E W Otten)Supersymmetry in Nuclei (F Iachello)Nuclear Structure with Stable and Radioactive Beams (R F Casten)Equation of State of Nuclear Matter (C-K Gelbke)Electric Dipole Tests of Time Reversal Symmetry (N F Ramsey)Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider Physics (J W Harris)and other papers Readership: Researchers in atomic, nuclear and particle physics.

Emlyn Willard Hughes

On March 25, 2003 Professor Vernon Hughes of Yale University passed away in New Haven, Connecticut. His career in physics extended over more than 50 years, and his highly influential research work contributed invaluably to numerous fundamental questions in physics. This book comprises a compilation of articles covering talks given at the Vernon Willard Hughes Memorial Symposium, which took place at Yale University in November 2003. The fascinating contributions from many leading experimental and theoretical physicists cover topics in atomic, nuclear and particle physics, as well as include remarks made by Professor Alan Bromley at the symposium dinner. The book also features the Biographical Memoirs of Professor Hughes, written by Professor Robert Adair for the US National Academy of Sciences, and a complete list of Professor Hughes's publications. The proceedings have been selected for coverage in: • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings® (ISTP® / ISI Proceedings) • Index to Scientific & Technical Proceedings (ISTP CDROM version / ISI Proceedings) • CC Proceedings — Engineering & Physical Sciences Contents:Vernon Hughes and the Early Years of Molecular Beam Resonance (N F Ramsey)The 46 Years of Muon g-2 (F Farley)Muonium — The Early Experiments (R Prepost)Muonium Lifetime and Heavy Quark Decays (W J Marciano)Recent Developments of the Theory of Muon and Electron g-2 (T Kinoshita)Vernon Hughes and the Quest for the Proton's Spin (R L Jaffe)The Spin Structure of the Nucleon: A Hughes Legacy (G D Cates)Muon g-2: The Last Word?
