This volume contains the proceedings of the "International Conference on Spin Excitations in Nuclei" held in Telluride, Colo rado, March 25-27, 1982. The motivation for the conference was, in a large part due to the recent development of new variable energy accelerators which produce high quality beams of electrons, protons, and pions that are providing the first precise information on spin excitations in nuclei over a large range of spin and mass. In the past such data had been restricted primarily to light nuclei and were generally resolution limited. Perhaps, the most exciting new result has been the clear observation of the elusive spin-dipole strength (Gamow Teller and Ml) in medium and heavy mass nuclei through the use of the (p,n) and (p,p') reactions at or near zero degrees with 100-200 MeV incident protons. Energy dependence in the isovector parts of the nucleon-nucleon interaction make the 100-200 MeV energy region particularly appropriate for such studies. The clean data from (e,e'), ('IT,'IT'), (p,p'), and (p,n) on high spin "stretched" states which have particularly simple structure has also been quite impor tant. The recent results contain important new information on the nature of the spin dependent forces in nuclei. These in turn are inherently related to the properties of the nuclear mesonic field and the underlying quantum chromodynamics.

Understanding nuclear structure and predicting nuclear properties from first principles are major goals of nuclear physics research. Many nuclear models have been created for these purposes, and benchmarking them with new data is critical for their continued development. Exotic nuclei provide fertile testing grounds for nuclear models because nuclear properties evolve and new phenomena emerge as one moves away from stability towards the driplines. In the present work, the 11C(p,n)11N reaction was measured in inverse kinematics at 95 MeV/u at the National Superconducting Cyclotron Laboratory to both provide a benchmark for current models and to lay the groundwork for future experiments. The Gamow-Teller transition strength, B(GT), was extracted from the measured cross section using a well-established proportionality relationship between the charge-exchange cross section and B(GT). The results were B(GT) = 0.18(1)stat(3)sys to the first 1/2- state and B(GT) = 0.18(1)stat(4)sys to the first 3/2- state in 11N. These results are consistent with shell-model calculations after introducing a phenomenological quenching factor and with ab-initio Variational Monte Carlo calculations without any scaling. These results are also consistent with B(GT) values extracted from mirror 11B(n,p) and 11B(t,3He) reactions, assuming isospin symmetry. Additionally, this experiment demonstrates the feasibility of using the (p,n) probe in inverse kinematics to extract B(GT) from transitions to proton-rich unbound nuclei, although improved background suppression will be critical in future experiments.

This volume contains the proceedings of an International Conference on "Spin and Isospin in Nuclear Interactions", which was held in Telluride, Colorado USA, 11-15 March 1991. This was the fifth in a series of conferences held in Telluride every three years since 1979. In attendance at the conference were just under 100 participants, representing a total of 43 institutes from 12 different countries. In keeping with previous Telluride conferences, the role of spin and isospin degrees of freedom in both nuclear structure and nuclear interactions remained an important theme. Topics covered included new results on the spin- and isospin-dependent terms in the free and effective nucleon-nucleon interaction, Gamow-Teller excitations, charge and spin exchange with hadronic probes, and spin measurements with leptonic probes. Recent progress in the development of polarized sources, polarized targets, and po larimetry was also discussed, as were applications to neutrino physics and astrophysics. Whereas earlier Telluride conferences had dealt primarily with nucleon-nucleus inter actions, this meeting included extensive discussions on the role of spin and flavor in particle interactions, and on ways of "bridging the gap" between concepts usually as sociated with particle physics and the domain of more conventional nuclear physics. The conference consisted of morning and evening scientific sessions, leaving the afternoons free for informal discussions, recreation, and enjoyment of the scenic beauty of the Telluride area. In addition to the invited talks, time was allotted for contributed talks on new results.

This book focuses on a new development of spin giant resonances in nuclei. It covers: quenching phenomena in Gamow-Teller giant resonances, spin-dipole giant resonances, spin-longitudinal and transverse responses in quasi-elastic scattering, microscopic structures, isoscalar spin responses, and spin excitations in exotic nuclei as well as in related fields. The book provides comprehensive coverage of theory and experiment on intriguing spin phenomena, by distinguished contributors.

Giant resonances are collective excitations of the atomic nucleus, a typical quantum many-body system. The study of these fundamental modes has in many respects contributed to our understanding of the bulk behavior of the nucleus and of the dynamics of non-equilibrium excitations. Although the phenomenon of giant resonances has been known for more than 50 years, a large amount of information has been obtained in the last 10 years. This book gives an up-to-date, comprehensive account of our present knowledge of giant resonances. It presents the experimental facts and the techniques used to obtain that information, describes how these facts fit into theoretical concepts and how this allows to determine various nuclear properties which are otherwise difficult to obtain. Included as an introduction is an overview of the main facts, a short history of how the field has developed in the course of time, and a discussion of future perspectives.
