Perspectives of Photon Interactions with Hadrons and Nuclei

The proceedings of a workshop held at Gottingen in Germany in February 1990, this book includes discussions on intermediate and high-energy nuclear physics with real and virtual physics. The contributors focus on new electron accelerators.

---

The topics treated in this volume are intermediate and high-energy nuclear physics with real and virtual photons and the interplay between nuclear and particle physics. The first part, devoted to vector mesons, is also intended to explore the scientific perspectives of a new generation of electron accelerators. The second part is devoted to physics currently under study at intermediate-energy real-photon facilities with some emphasis on the Compton effect and its relation to quark models.
