Physics Division annual review, 1 April 1983-31 March 1984

OSTI ID:5819958

A broad but necessarily incomplete review of the research activities within the Division is presented. Activities in medium-energy physics research include studies of pion reaction mechanisms, nuclear structure studies, two-nucleon physics with pions and electrons, weak interactions and particle searches. Research at the Superconducting Linac Accelerator includes studies on quasi-elastic processes and reaction strengths, heavy-ion fusion reactions, high angular momentum states in nuclei, accelerator mass spectrometry and equipment development at the Tandem-Linac Facility. Theoretical nuclear physics studies reviewed are grouped in the areas: nuclear forces and subnucleon degrees of freedom, variational calculation of finite many-body systems, nuclear shell theory and nuclear structure, intermediate energy physics, heavy-ion reactions and other theoretical studies. The status of the superconducting linac program is detailed, and operation and development of the tandem-linac accelerator and the Dynamitron Facility are described. The atomic and molecular physics research is detailed in the five ongoing programs: photoionization-photoelectron research, high-resolution laser-rf spectroscopy with atomic and molecular beams, photon interactions involving fast ions, interactions of fast atomic and molecular ions with solid and gaseous targets, and theoretical atomic physics. A complete list of publications and the Division roster are included. (WHK)
