description

One of the main fields of interest in medium energy nuclear physics is the study of subnuclear or non-nucleonic degrees of freedom (d.o.f.) in nuclei, like meson and isobar or quark-gluon degrees of freedom. It bridges the gap between classical or low energy nuclear physics as understood in terms of nucleon-only degrees of freedom and elementary particle or high energy physics. Hereby one may distinguish roughly two major objectives.
