In addition to the general courses, a number of more specific lectures or
seminars will be given, either by invited speakers or by school-attendants.
In 1996 Nuclear Physics will be 100 years old. This centenarian is still
a most active and lively discipline with many recent developments and new
challenges. Radioactive beams and advanced detectors give new impetus to
nuclear structures studies. New electron facilities explore the deep interior
of hadrons as well as the role of subnuclear degrees of freedom in nuclei.
Heavy ion collisions, from moderate to the highest achievable energies,
allow the investigation of the densest forms of matter and the transition
to the quark-gluon plasma. A profound unity, beyond the specialization of
the various subfields, can be found in Nuclear Physics today. It is a field
of research which exhibits essentially all manifestations of strongly interacting,
finite fermionic systems. The aim of the school is to provide a unified
presentation of both the main experimental developments and of the new theoretical
tools in the field. The school will be open to advanced graduate students
as well as to more senior physicists.
