Modem Nuclear Physics and Its Development

本文概述了核物理新的研究机遇,这机遇是:(1)在核介质内,寻找和研究夸克自由度,研究强相互作用的基本理论QCD;(2)研究核物态方程;(3)研究夸克胶子等离子体(QGP);(4)研究各种极端条件下的核结构;(5)核介质用于精确研究强、电弱相互作用的基本性质等。为此,4GeV连续束电子加速器CEBAF、相对论重离子对撞机RHIC正在建造,强子装置和放射性核束加速器正在筹备。

The most new scientific opportunities of nuclear physics are: the exploration of the quark degrees of freedom and of the underlying theory of the strong interaction, QCD, in the nuclearmedium; the study of the nuclear equation of state and of quark-gluon plasma (QGP); the study ofnuclear structure at the limits of temperature, angular momentum, and neutron-to-proton ratios; theuse of the nuclear medium for precision studies of fundamental aspects of the strong and electroweakinteractions. To do these, the 4GeV continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) andRelativistic Heavy Ion (RHIC) are being constructed, Hadron Facility (KAON) and RadioactiveNuclear Beam (RNB) Accelerator are in preparation.
