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.

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.

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.

Grenoble Anneau Accelerateur Laser
(GRAAL)
The purpose of the project is to build a polarized and tagged
intermediate energy photon beam (E = 350-1500 MeV) by Compton
backscattering of laser photons off the 6.04 Gev electrons stored
in the ESRF ring in Grenoble. The gamma-ray beam obtained with
this technique is highly polarized and can be tagged by measuring
the scattered electron position analyzed by the dipole magnet
downstream of the interaction region. The coupling of a fully
polarized gamma-ray beam with a large solid angle detector will
give access to: - polarization degrees of freedom in photonuclear
experiments, - measuremets of very low photonuclear cross sections,
The beam and the detector are built by an international collaboration
including 7 INFN laboratories and sections (Roma2, Laboratori
Nazionali di Frascati, Genova, Roma1, Catania, Laboratori Nazionali
del Sud and Torino), 2 IN2P3 laboratories (LPSC Grenoble, IPN
Orsay), 2 Russian Institutions (INR-The Russian Academy of Sciences,
Kurchatov Institute)
