Wong, Cheuk-Yin

The traveler was assigned to the Institute for Nuclear Studies of the University of Tokyo for three months, and collaborated with Japanese theorists on various problems of common interest. Before and during this foreign assignment period, the traveler also attended three international conferences in Taiwan and Japan. The International Conference on Medium- and High-Energy Nuclear Physics at Taipei, Taiwan, was the first international conference in physics held in Taiwan. Among other topics, the subjects of discussion included heavy-ion collisions at high energies and the physics associated with the anomalous positron peaks observed in heavy-ion collisions. The International Conference on Clustering Aspects in Nuclear and Subnuclear Systems at Kyoto was the fifth in a series of cluster conferences. It reviewed recent advances in the physics of clusters. This year, there was also a special session on clustering phenomena revealed in electromagnetic interactions such as those which might be associated with the anomalous e/sup +/ peaks in heavy-ion reactions. The International Symposium on Developments of Nuclear Clustering Dynamics was organized as a ''post-conference'' of the Cluster Conference in Kyoto. In addition to topics in cluster physics, heavy-ion reactions and fusion were also discussed.
