Anthropic considerations in nuclear physics

The fine-tuning problems of particle physics and anthropic mechanisms

Many of the classic problems of particle physics appear in a very different light when viewed from the perspective of the multiverse. Most importantly the two great “fine tuning” problems that motivate the field are far less serious when one accounts for the required anthropic constraints which exist in a multiverse. However, the challenge then becomes to construct a realistic physical theory o...

Frontiers in Nuclear Physics

These are the proceedings of the symposium on “Frontiers in Nuclear Physics” held at the Physikzentrum Bad Honnef from June 18 to 20, 2009. The workshop concentrated on recent advances in the understanding of the nuclear forces, fewnucleon systems and related topics. Included are a short contribution per talk. ∗ This symposium was supported in parts by funds provided from the Helmholtz Associat...

Nuclear Physics

the first importance. Behnke has demonstrated that the "lean body mass," since it represents the active tissue of a person, is superior to reference standards hitherto proposed for the estimation of physiological functions such as the masses of various organs and tissues and the volumes of the different fluid compartments in the body. In the present article, which has been reprinted as a short ...
