Description: The International Conference on Nuclear and Particle Physics was held at the University of Glasgow in the spring of 1993. Many areas of current and future interest in nuclear and particle physics are explored in the seventeen invited papers presented in this volume. These include: the latest physics from LEAR, HERA and LEP; reviews of QCD lattice gauge theory; information on the new generation of accelerators at LHC and SSC; and the search for the Higgs boson.

Topics at the forefront of nuclear physics include: relativistic heavy ion physics; the physics of unstable nuclei; pion and photon absorption mechanisms; nuclear cluster states; and chiral symmetry in nuclei. Exciting new areas to be investigated by high energy continuous beam electron accelerators and radioactive ion beam accelerators are also described. This volume presents a valuable cross section of the leading edge of research in the areas of nuclear and particle physics.
