Weak and Electromagnetic Interactions in Nuclei: Proceedings of the International Symposium, Heidelberg, July 1–5, 1986

Nuclear physics is almost immediately experiencing a thrust in the direction of basic phy­ sics questions. Low-energy experiments assist in trying out past ultra-modern stan­ dard types of particle physics. the quest for finite neutrino plenty and neutrino oscillations, for proton decay, infrequent and forbidden muon and pion de­ cays, for an electrical dipole second of the neutron denote the various efforts to check state-of-the-art theories of grand unification (GUTs, SUSYs, Superstrings, .
