Electromagnetic Interactions in Nuclear and Hadron Physics: Proceedings of the International Symposium (Electronic book text)

This study of electromagnetic interactions in nuclear and hadron physics constitutes the proceedings of an international symposium held in Japan in 2001. The papers cover the following topics: meson and hadron production by real and virtual photon interaction with nucleons and nuclei; astrophysical studies via photoreactions and hadron reactions; new technologies for the electromagnetic probes and detector development; nuclear structure studies with electromagnetic probes; and fundamental symmetries with electromagnetic probes and related problems.
