Nuclei Far from Stability and Atomic Masses and Fundamental Constants 1992 presents a collection of 200 papers presented at two conferences that were held concurrently. Particular attention is paid to developments in the field of nuclear physics with energetic secondary beams and the increase of precision in the determination of atomic masses. Topics covered include nuclear spectroscopy and nuclear shapes, the heaviest elements, fission and cluster radioactivity, beta decay, coupling constants, neutrino mass, moments and radii, nuclei near the drip line and their structure, atomic masses, nuclear aspects in astrophysics, and experimental developments.

Concludes a monumental eight-volume work in which the editor, in collaboration with more than 65 expert authors, has undertaken to review the status and prospects of the field to which the title refers, a branch of nuclear physics which owes much of its present vitality to the fairly recent developm

The articles in this book cover a broad range of topics in the field of nuclear physics, including many articles on the subject of high spin physics. With an emphasis on the discussion and analysis of future developments within a number of significant areas, the book's attempt to address the status of research at the beginning of the next century is to be welcomed by researchers and students alike.
