Progress in Nuclear Physics

Physics applications in nuclear medicine: progress on many fronts.

Progress of nuclear physics data evaluation projects at GSI

In 2009, the screening of the literature for all nuclear data relevant for future evaluations of masses and decay properties has been continued (see Ref. [2]). The data are now structured for input into data bases in the framework of the Advanced Atomic Mass Evaluation – AAME– project. For the mid-term future it is envisioned to make all data available via electronic media for broad disseminati...

Progress in Anisotropic Plasma Physics

In 1959 Weibel demonstrated that when a QED plasma has a temperature anisotropy there exist unstable transverse magnetic excitations which grow exponentially fast. In this paper we will review how to determine the growth rates for these unstable modes in the weak-coupling and ultrarelativistic limits in which the collective behavior is describable in terms are so-called “hard-loops”. We will sh...

Recent Progress in Solar Physics

A number of significant recent advances in solar physics are reviewed. New kinds of observations made during the present sunspot cycle, which began in 1954, have emphasized still further the apparent complexity of solar phenomena and the need of nonequilibrium theoretical treatments. Among the new developments di cussed are solar cosmic rays and highenergy particles, flares and prominences, cor...

Progress in Nuclear Energy

Nuclear energy has firmly established itself as a separate branch of physical science, engineering, and medicine. This new publication, Progress in Nuclear Energy, consists of eight series, namely: I. Physics and Mathematics, II. Reactors, III. Process Chemistry, IV. Technology and Engineering, V. Metallurgy and Fuels, VI. Biological Sciences, VII. Medical Sciences, VIII. Economics of Nuclear P...
