[Research in theoretical nuclear and subnuclear physics]. Progress report

Sergei Ananyan has completed one nice piece of nuclear physics on ``Electroweak Processes Involving (0{sup +}0) Excitations in Nuclei`` and has written this work up for publication. He is well into his main thesis problem on weak axial vector exchange currents and already has some very interesting new results. Bryan Barmore is now finishing numerical calculations on the problem of radiating meson fields in relativistic heavy ion collisions. Gary Prezeau has just started on the problem of chiral QHD with vector mesons. Gary should finish his Ph.D. in 1998. A PC has been purchased for the group through CEBAF and they are now tied into the CEBAF computer system., They have organized a Nuclear Theory Study Group in the Department and last year they worked through the books on ``Computational Nuclear Physics.`` Next year they will run a series on effective field theories and chiral perturbation theory. Tod Bachman just completed a senior thesis on relativistic Hartree calculations of the newly-found doubly magic nuclei {sup 100}Sn and {sup 132}Sn. The book on ``Theoretical Nuclear and Subnuclear Physics`` has now been published by Oxford Press. Also included here is the proposal for renewal of the contract
