This volume describes the latest developments in the design, construction and operation of cyclotrons, from compact machines producing intense beams for isotope production, cancer therapy and industrial use, to the larger versions giving higher energy beams of ions of various elements for nuclear and particle physics. Important topics include ECR ion sources, superconducting magnets and radiofrequency cavities, beam dynamics and diagnostics, beam cooling rings, control systems and various medical and industrial applications.

The subject of this Institute is the importance of Spin and Symmetry measurements in probing the Standard Model and QCD, polarization in lepton-quark interactions, nucleon spin structure functions, spin effects in high energy hadronic interactions, and electromagnetic spin physics at medium energies.The pedagogical nature of the invited talks makes this book suitable for senior graduate students and subatomic physicists in general, while the specialist talks make the volume useful to practitioners in the field.

The investigation of hadronic and nuclear probes with protons and electrons in the energy range of a few GeV is of great importance for the understanding of the properties of nucleons and mesons as well as of their interaction. Experimental results from studies with these beams provide the basis for the development and the tests of theoretical approaches in the energy regime of non-perturbative QCD. They can also clarify the effect of the nuclear medium on elementary reactions. The conference has reviewed the present status of this field of research. The topics have beenThe conference topics comprised investigations near energy thresholds in the tradition of the conferences on Particle Production near Threshold in Nashville, IN, USA, 1990, and Uppsala, Sweden, 1992.

The topics covered in this proceedings include: synthesis of the heaviest isotopes of the lightest elements and the study of their properties, properties of neutron and proton-rich nuclei, some astrophysical problems, cluster radioactivity, present status and perspectives of producing radioactive nuclear beams and their applications, and new experimental facilities and projects.

This volume covers the field of circular accelerators and related technology for the sub-GeV to multi-GeV energy region from the viewpoint of realization of high performance, i.e., performance and perspectives of operating multi-GeV accelerators, future projects in the multi-GeV energy region, lattice designs and beam dynamics, electron cooling and stochastic cooling, injection and extraction, beam diagnostics, superconducting and normal magnets, magnet power supplies, RF systems, and internal targets. The contributors include leading accelerator physicists from around the world.
