The two comprehensive reviews in this volume address two
fundamental problems that have been of long-standing interest and
are the focus of current effort in contemporary nuclear physics:
exploring experimentally the density distributions of constituents
within the nucleus and understand ing nuclear structure and
interactions in terms of hadronic degrees of freedom. One of the
major goals of experimental probes of atomic nuclei has been to
discover the spatial distribution of the constituents within the
nucleus. As the energy and specificity of probes have increased
over the years, the degree of spatial resolution and ability to
select specific charge, current, spin, and isospin densities have
correspondingly increased. In the first chapter, Batty, Friedman,
Gils, and Rebel provide a thorough review of what has been learned
about nuclear density distributions using electrons, muons,
nucleons, antinucleons, pions, alpha particles, and kaons as
probes. This current understanding, and the limitations thereof,
are crucial in framing the questions that motivate the next
generation of experimental facilities to study atomic nuclei with
electromagnetic and hadronic probes. The second chapter, by
Machleidt, reviews our current understanding of nuclear forces and
structure in terms of hadronic degrees of freedom, that is, in
terms of mesons and nucleons. Such an understanding in terms of
hadronic variables is crucial for two reasons. First, since
effective hadronic theories are quite successful in describing a
broad range of phenomena in low-energy nuclear physics, and there
are clear experimental signatures of meson exchange currents in
nuclei, we must understand their foundations."
