th The 13 Winter Workshop on Nuclear Dynamics is the latest installment in a series of workshops that was started in 1978. This series has grown into a tradition, bringing together experimental and theoretical expertise from all areas of the study of nuclear dynamics. As always, the organizers had placed emphasis on the important aspect of cross- fertilization between the different energy regimes and wa.ys of viewing a collision of energetic nuclei. This emphasis is reflected in the broad range of topics covered in these proceedings. Phase transitions in nuclear collisions received most of the attention during this workshop, as indicated by the number of contributions on this subject. Many of the questions in connection with these topics remain not settled and will have a huge impact on the physics that can be extracted from experiments at the future Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider. While the experimental program at the AGS is winding down, the NSCL upgrade and RHIC promise a bright future for our field in the USA. In Europe and Asia, major new facilities are under construction as well. The excitement and anticipation in connection with these new opportunities are reflected in these proceedings as well.

Sobre o autor(a)
Bauer, Wolfgang
Nasceu na Alemanha e tornou-se doutor em física nuclear pela University of Giessen
em 1987. Depois de um pós-doutorado no Instituto de Tecnologia da Califórnia, juntou-se ao corpo docente da Michigan State University, em 1988. Trabalhou com uma ampla variedade de tópicos em física computacional, desde supercondutividade de alta temperatura a explosões de supernovas, mas demonstrou especial interesse em colisões nucleares relativísticas. Talvez seja mais conhecido por seu trabalho sobre mudanças de fase de matéria nuclear em colisões de íons pesados. Recentemente, o Dr. Bauer concentrou grande parte de sua pesquisa e docência em questões referentes à energia, inclusive recursos de combustíveis fósseis, maneiras de usar energia com mais eficiência e, em especial, recursos alternativos de energia com carbono neutro. Atualmente, é diretor do Departamento de Física e Astronomia e do Instituto de Pesquisa Auxiliada por Cibernética. |
