New Horizons in Fundamental Physics

摘要: Modern nuclear physics has become a highly complex area of research covering many topics with close connections to a whole array of different fields of physics. Therefore, from time to time, scientists working in this field need to “escape” from their own special topic of research to get a better understanding of the whole field and their interconnections, therewith also to gain new insight and novel ideas to tackle their scientific projects. In this spirit, we organized the Symposium New Horizons in Fundamental Physics, which took place at Makutsi Safari Farm in South Africa from November 23 to 27, 2016. The event followed a previous very successful symposium at the same place in 2011. It successfully managed to bring together world-class scientists with reports on cutting-edge research and very valuable and insightful extensive discussions in a wonderful setting, surrounded by South African wilderness.The topics …
