    • Review of Particle Physics (by the Particle Data Group)
      An international collaboration charged with summarizing Particle Physics, as well as related areas of Cosmology and Astrophysics. In 2008, the PDG consists of 170 authors from 108 institutions in 20 countries. The summaries are published in even-numbered years as a now 1340-page book, the Review of Particle Physics, and as an abbreviated version (294 pages), the Particle Physics Booklet. The Review is published in a major journal, and in addition the PDG distributes 16,000 copies of it and 31,000 copies of the Booklet. The Review has been called the bible of particle physics; over the years, it has been cited in 30,000 papers. The Review includes a compilation and evaluation of measurements of the properties of the elementary particles. In the 2008 Review, the listings include 2,778 new measurements from 645 papers, in addition to 24,559 measurements from 7,104 papers that appeared in earlier editions. Evaluations of these properties are abstracted in summary tables.

    • APS Research Journals
      Physical Review Letters, Physical Review, and Reviews of Modern Physics. Devoted to general physics (including statistical and quantum mechanics, quantum information, etc.), gravitation and astrophysics; elementary particles and fields; nuclear physics; atomic, molecular, and optical physics; nonlinear dynamics, fluid dynamics, classical optics; plasma and beam physics; condensed matter; and soft-matter, biological, and interdisciplinary physics.

    • SLAC SPIRES - HEP Databases
    • APS Division of Nuclear Physics (DNP)
      • DNP Nuclear Physics Links
        The Division of Nuclear Physics (DNP) is comprised of scientists and educators who study fundamental problems related to the nature of matter. Nuclear scientists probe the properties of nuclei and nuclear matter and the interactions of their ultimate constituents - quarks and gluons. They also address interdisciplinary questions: the basis of fundamental symmetries in nature, the first moments of the universe, the origin of the elements, education, and the application of nuclei and nuclear techniques to meet societal needs including medical diagnoses and treatment, energy, advanced materials, and Homeland Security. DNP interests have significant overlap with other APS Divisions, Topical Groups and Forums.

    • APS Topical Group on Hadron Physics (GHP)
      The mission of the APS Topical Group on Hadronic Physics (GHP) is the advancement and diffusion of knowledge related to QCD and hadronic physics. This includes enhancing communication between the Divisions of Particle and Nuclear Physics with physicists interested in the interactions and structure of strongly interacting particles in vacua and at high temperatures and densities. We also seek to enhance communication within the diverse hadronic physics community. The topical group should interest physicists working on spectroscopy, lattice gauge theory, structure physics, heavy ion physics, jet physics, and QCD at finite temperature and density.

    • APS Few-Body Topical Group (GFB)
      The APS Topical Group on Few-Body Systems and Multiparticle Dynamics was formed in January, 1985. We are an umbrella organization of atomic, molecular, nuclear, particle, mathematical, physicists, as well as quantum chemists, who are interested in the dynamics of "simple" systems. Such systems have relatively few degrees of freedom at some energy scale, and their study provides significant information about the dynamics of systems in a given area of physics. Because we are an interdisciplinary group, many of our sessions at APS meetings are held jointly with other Groups and Divisions and feature specific "themes" from different fields.

    • Institute for Nuclear Theory, Seattle, WA (INT)
      To encourage interdisciplinary research at the intersections of nuclear physics with related disciplines, such as particle physics, astrophysics, atomic physics, and condensed matter physics. The goals are to build greater appreciation, in the general physics community, for the tools of nuclear physics and the breadth of their possible applications, and to assure that new ideas generated in other fields are quickly assimiliated and exploited by nuclear physics.

    • European Centre for Theoretical Studies in Nuclear Physics and Related Areas (ECT*)
      The European Centre for Theoretical Studies in Nuclear Physics and Related Areas (ECT*) in Trento (Italy) provides a dedicated and structured combination of scientific activities for a large international scientific community. The Centre acts as an "intellectual" centre of competence, complementary in scope and activities to existing research facilities based at universities or experimental laboratories. It promotes coordination of European research efforts in nuclear physics in a broad sense. The activities are workshops, collaboration meetings, a doctoral training program and specialized courses. ECT* also offers visiting fellowships for junior and senior researchers.

    • International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP)
      As one of the basic sciences, physics relates to all branches of natural science. Many of the most exciting developments take place in the border areas between different disciplines. To cover interdisciplinary activities IUPAP maintains close liaison with several of the other Unions. In some cases this collaboration is manifested in the form of associate members of IUPAP Commissions. The Union also participates in many of the ICSU Inter-Union Commissions and global projects. The Union is composed of Members representing identified physics communities. At present 48 Members adhere to IUPAP.

      • Nijmegen NN-Online
        NN-OnLine was initiated by Mart Rentmeester, with the aid of René Klomp in 1994. Via this website we want to make some of the work of current and former members of the Theoretical High Energy Physics Group of the Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands, more accessible for the physics community. It especially concerns the work on the baryon-baryon interaction: the nucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction, hyperon-nucleon (YN) interaction, antinucleon-nucleon (NN) interaction, and pion-nucleon (pN) interaction. The interactive part of NN-OnLine allows you to instantaneously calculate and plot phaseshifts, scattering amplitudes and observables for several models of the NN interaction. Moreover you can browse the complete world database of low and intermediate energy nucleon-nucleon scattering data and compare the data with model predictions.
