Editorial Reviews

Sixty-five papers from the January 1999 conference address issues in nuclear structure physics. Among the topics explored are the structure of light mass (exotic) nuclei as evidenced by scattering from hydrogen, in-beam gamma spectroscopy of very neutron-rich nuclei, magnetic-rotational bands in Pb isotopes, and the development and applications of scintillatory-photodiode detectors.
