There are 51 booklets in the "Understanding the Atom Series" series published by the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission. The booklets can be grouped into the categories of physics, chemistry, biology, nuclear reactors, the environment, and general interest. Nine of the booklets were available in French and 15 were available in Spanish. The discovery of the neutrino and the research involving this important elementary particle of matter is discussed. The introductory section reviews topics basic to the understanding of neutrino research: the electron, isotopes, wave character of the electron, spin, the neutron, transformation of particles, the photon, electromagnetic properties, interactions, and relativistic mass. The major portion of the discussion describes how the existence of neutrinos was confirmed, including such concepts as the laws of conservation, the paradox of the energy-momentum balance, particle-antiparticle annihilation, and other topics. Numerous photographs and diagrams are utilized. Jeremy Bernstein (born December 31, 1929 - , in Rochester, New York) is an American theoretical physicist and science essayist. Bernstein studied at Harvard University, receiving his bachelor's degree in 1951, masters in 1953, and Ph.D. in 1955, on electromagnetic properties of deuterium, under Julian Schwinger. As a theoretical physicist, he worked on elementary particle physics and cosmology. A summer spent in Los Alamos led to a position at the Institute for Advanced Study. In 1962 he became a faculty member at New York University, moving to become a professor of physics at Stevens Institute of Technology in 1967, a position that he continues to hold as Professor Emeritus. He has held adjunct or visiting positions at the Brookhaven National Laboratory, CERN, Oxford, the University of Islamabad, and the Ecole Polytechnique. He was also involved in Project Orion, investigating the potential for nuclear pulse propulsion for use in space travel. His books include "Physicists on Wall Street and Other Essays on Science and Society" (2010), and "Nuclear Weapons: What You Need to Know" (2010)., U. S.

The growth of interest in the subject of Polymer Colloids over the last twenty five years or so has been very large resulting now in major international conferences on an annual basis and many national ones as well. The interest stems not only from the wide range of applications of these materials but also from a curiosity as to the mechanism of formation and their growing use as model particles to investigate fundamental aspects of physics and chemistry. In July 1988 a NATO Advanced Study Institute was held in Strasbourg, France, at the Centre St. Thomas. As an educational introduction to this I nstitute a series of eight lectures was given to cover the fundamental aspects of the subject. These eight lectures have now been compiled into an Introductory Text covering, emulsion poly merization, dispersion polymerization, inverse emulsion polymerization, the morphology of copolymer latices, the colloidal properties of latices, characterization methods and rheology. It is hoped that these will serve a wide audience, undergraduates, graduate-students and research workers, both in industry and academe. The chapters all contain review material up to date at the time of publication. fhe 1988 NATO Advanced Study I nstitute was made possible by a grant from the NATO-AS I programme and the following companies: BASF, Ludwigshafen, West Germany The Dow Chemical Company, Michigan, USA Dow Chemical Rheinwerk GmbH, Rheinmunster, West Germany ICI PLC, Runcorn, England S.

Twenty-nine contributions are included in these proceedings from the NATO Advanced Research Workshop on Interpretation of the New Diffractive Phenomena in Quantum Chromodynamics and in the S-Matrix Theory held in Alushta, Ukraine in August-September, 2002. Contributors, consisting of American, European, and many Russian professors of nuclear, theoretical, and other types of physics, review the experimental and theoretical aspects of diffraction in high-energy physics. Discussion included such t hemes as diffraction in hadron- hadron collisions, in lepton-hadron collisions, and in quantum chromodynamics.
