This volume provides up-to-date information on selected topics in nuclear physics and their future prospects. Topics discussed include nuclear astrophysics; synthesis of very heavy elements; physics with exotic nuclei; heavy ion collisions; spin-isospin excitation. This volume contains 47 papers by invited speakers and nine summaries by chairpersons.

This volume reports on lectures delivered by invited physicists from such major laboratories as Santiago de Compostela, CERN, and La Plata. These scientists addressed their younger colleagues on the latest developments in particle physics and quantum field theory. Topics discussed include: duality in field theory and in string theory, testing the Standard Model and beyond, non-perturbative aspects of string theory, conformal field theory, baryogenesis and the electroweak phase transition, and quantum general relativity.

This book covers: - the latest developments in synthesizing super-heavy elements at RIKEN and GSI, and in theories of fusion-fission dynamics - studies of nuclei far from stability and clustering phenomena in nuclei including the present status and future plan of RIB facilities at GSI, GANIL, and RIKEN - transmutation of nuclear waste in Europe, Japan, and Asia - nuclear astrophysics with emphasis on nuclear physics in space, radio-nuclides in the galaxy, nuclear data for astrophysics, nuclear reactions for astrophysics, and neutron stars and other stars

This book covers the latest developments in synthesizing super-heavy elements at RIKEN, GSI, and GANIL as well as in theories of fusion-fission dynamics. It also examines the latest results in the studies of nuclei far from stability and the clustering phenomena in nuclei, including the present status and future prospects of European and Japanese RIB facilities. In addition, the book details the latest developments in nuclei astrophysics.

This book covers the latest developments of stellar structure and evolution, cosmology, and nuclear reactions in astrophysics experiments in an attempt to synthesize super-heavy elements at Dubna and GSI, follow-up experiments at GANIL and RIKEN, and related theories. Topics include nuclear astrophysics, atomic cluster physics, physics for nuclear transmutation, physics with exotic nuclei, and super heavy elements.

Tours 2009 contains three main topics: On the Wide Range of Nuclear Physics, Astrophysics, and High Energy Astrophysics. The intermediate field, Nuclear Astrophysics is also a key research area.
