Energy dependence of the Gamow-Teller strength in p-shell nuclei observed in the (n,p) reaction.
Cross sections from 0{degree} to 10{degree} (lab) have been measured for ground-state Gamow-Teller transitions for the reactions {sup 6}Li({ital n},{ital p}){sup 6}He, {sup 12}C({ital n},{ital p}){sup 12}B and {sup 13}C({ital n},{ital p}){sup 13}B from 60 to 260 MeV. The 90-m station at the Weapons Neutron Research facility at Los Alamos National Laboratory was used to obtain these data. Unit cross sections ({sigma}) have been obtained and are compared with existing ({ital n},{ital p}) and ({ital p},{ital n}) data. The volume integrals ({ital J}{sub {sigma}{tau}}) for the spin-flip isospin-flip part of the effective nucleon-nucleon interaction have also been obtained and are compared with theoretical predictions.

Skyrmion approach to finite density and temperature
We review an approach, developed over the past few years, to describe hadronic matter at finite density and temperature, whose underlying theoretical framework is the Skyrme model, an effective low energy theory rooted in large $N_c$ QCD. In this approach matter is described by various crystal structures of skyrmions, classical topological solitons carrying baryon number, from which conventional baryons appear by quantization. Chiral and scale symmetries play a crucial role in the dynamics as described by pion, dilaton and vector meson degrees of freedom. When compressed or heated skyrmion matter describes a rich phase diagram which has strong connections with the confinement/deconfinement phase transition.
