ADVANCES IN NUCLEAR DYNAMICS 4

These are the proceedings of the 141h Winter Vorkshop on Nuclear Dynamics, the latest of a serif’S of workshops that was started in 1~)78. This series has grown into a tradition. bringing together experimental and theoretical expertise from all areas of the study of nudear dynamics. Following tllf’ tradition of the Workshop the program covered a broad range of topics aerof’S a large energy range. At the low energy end llluitifragmentation and its relationship to the nuclear liquid to gas phase transition was disclIssf’d in grf’at df’­ tail. New pxpf’rimental data, refined analysis techniques, and new theoretical effort have lead to considerable progress. In the AGS energy range we see the emergence of systematic data that contribute to our understanding of the reaction dynamics. The workshop also showf’d that at CERN energies Itadronic data become much more precise and complet.e and a renewed emphasis on basic hadronic processes and hadronic struc­ ture as a precondition to understand the initial conditions and a basis for systematic comparisons.
