This volume of Advances in Nuclear Physics addresses two very
different frontiers of contemporary nuclear physics - one highly
theoretical and the other solidly phenomenological. The first
article by Matthias Burkardt provides a pedagogical overview of the
timely topic of light front quantization. Although introduced
decades ago by Dirac, light front quantization has been a central
focus in theoretical - clear and particle physics in recent years
for two majorreasons. The first, as discussed in detail by
Burkardt, is that light-cone coordinates are the natural
coordinates for describing high-energy scattering. The wealth of
data in recent years on nucleon and nucleus structure functions
from high-energy lepton and hadron scattering thus provides a
strong impetus for understanding QCD on the light cone. Second, as
theorists have explored light front quantization, a host of deep
and intriguing theoretical questions have arisen associated with
the triviality of the vacuum, the role of zero modes, rotational
invariance, and renormalization. These issues are so compelling
that they are now intensively investigated on their own merit,
independent of the particular application to high-energy
scattering. This article provides an excellent introduction and
overview of the motivation from high-energy scattering, an
accessible - scription of the basic ideas, an insightful discussion
of the open problems, and a helpful guide to the specialized
literature. It is an ideal opportunity for those with a spectator's
acquaintance to develop a deeper understanding of this important
field.
