The 8th International Workshop of the Physics of Excited Nucleons: NSTAR 2011

This workshop covered experimental and theoretical work in understanding the spectrum and structure of excited nucleons. The audience were nuclear and high energy physicists. The workshop gives a snapshot of the present status of the field.

AIP Conference Proceedings report findings presented at many of the most important scientific meetings around the world
Published proceedings are valuable as topical status reports providing quick access to information before it appears in the traditional journal literature
