This volume outlines the exciting new opportunities in hadron physics which have been created by the Japan Hadron Facility (JHF), a major joint initiative between KEK and JAERI. The topics covered include unprecedented possibilities of studying strange matter, neutrino oscillations and hadron structure. The close interaction with lattice Q is emphasised.Contents:Overview of Japan Hadron Facility:KEK/JAERI Joint Project on High-Intensity Proton Accelerators (S Sawada)JHF Overview — Strangeness Nuclear Physics and Particle Physics Programs (T Nagae)Strangeness in Nuclear Matter:Weak Decays of Hyperons and Hypernuclei (M Oka et al.)The Λ-Λ Interaction and Strangeness-2 Hypernuclei (I R Afnan)Neutrino Oscillations and Interactions:Implications of the JHF-Kamioka Neutrino Oscillation Experiment (R R Volkas)Some Implications of the NuTeV Anomaly (B H J McKellar et al.)Hadron Structure and Properties:Lattice Q and Hadron Structure (A W Thomas)Baryon Resonance Phenomenology (D B Leinweber et al.)Nuclear and Nucleon Structure Functions:Small-x Nuclear Effects in Parton Distributions (V Guzey)Nucleons as Relativistic Three-Quark States (M Oettel)Hadronic Properties of Nuclei:Properties of Hadrons in Nuclear Matter (F C Khanna & D U Matrasulov)Relativistic Mean-Field Theory with Pion in Finite Nuclei (H Toki et al.)and other papersReadership: Researchers in hadron physics, nuclear physics, particle physics and accelerator development.Key Features:Written by a leading expert active in the fieldSuitable as a textbook for graduate students as well as a reference for researchersProvides a complete view of the history of the subject with an exhaustive bibliographyIncludes an unusual combination of lucid, in-depth conceptual presentation and detailed formal derivations of all the main results
