This book covers recent topics on studies of heavy ion collisions in the energy domain from several MeV/nucleon to several GeV/nucleon: exotic nuclei and radiactive beams; hot nuclei; hot and cold giant resonances; high spin and some applications; and panel for future collaboration.
Nuclear structure studies of unstable nuclei, T. Otsuka; perspective of fission study, Y. Abe; inversion of the in-plane and out-plane components of the collective matter flow below 100 MeV/u, J. Peter; applications of coulomb excitation at intermediate energies, T. Motobayashi; giant resonances and multiphonon states, N. Frascaria; the giant dipole resonance in hot nuclei, D. Vaurtherin; from instabilities to multifragmentation reactions, Chomaz; study of high-spin states with isomer beams, Y. Gono; the measurement of 3- and 4-fold fragmentation in hot nuclei, G. Dai; towards 100Sn, M. Lewitovicz; aspects of recent radio-active beam experiments at GANIL, D. Guillemaud-Mueller; RIKEN RI beam factory, I. Tanihata; status of the SPIRAL project, A. Villari.
