Preparation for physics teaching: Searching for the ideal

This paper discusses the search for an ideal preparation for pre-college physics teaching. An example of the traditional controversy between faculty members in colleges of education and science is recounted and the recently developed alternative to the traditional certification known as “alternative certification” is described.

Unique isospin-zero phase-shift solution for nucleon-nucleon scattering near 325 MeV

Abstract The recent measurement of D t in np scattering at 325 MeV by the BASQUE group permits a unique I = 0 phase shift solution to be determined, provided that the triplet G-wave phase shifts are constrained by theory.
