Research Interests Current:

Phase diagram of hadronic matter, liquid-gas phase transitions, quark-gluon plasma.

Previous:

Magnetic moments of excited nuclei using accelerator techniques to check the pairing plus quadrupole model; quadrupole moments of vibrational states using the re-orientation effect which revealed unexpectedly large deformations; partially conserved axial vector currents (PCAC) relationship using the p,n reaction at intermediate energies which allows the determination of B decay matrix elements of any nuclear state; pbar-p quark gluon search at 1.8 TeV.
