Foreword
It is with deep satisfaction that I write this foreword to the proceedings of
Indo-French workshop on “Multifragmentation, Collective flow and Sub-Threshold
Particle Production in Heavy-Ion Reactions.” The workshop was aimed to bring
together the researchers and academicians from Europe and India who work in the
field of Nuclear Physics and provide them with a platform where the exchange of
ideas could take place. The workshop was organized at Department of Physics,
Panjab University Chandigarh which encouraged the interaction of young
undergraduate/postgraduate and research students with the more established academic community and motivated them to pursue Science/Research as a career
option. I hope that this tradition of organizing such workshops/conferences at
Academic Institute will continue. The papers presented at the workshop contributed
the most recent scientific knowledge in the field of Nuclear Structure and Nuclear
Reactions. This volume will furnish the researchers in the field with an excellent
reference book, providing papers on recent trends in nuclear structure and on the
vast phenomenon in nuclear reactions. I also hope that this volume will be an
impetus to stimulate further research in all these areas.
I thank all participants and authors for their contribution.
