Abstract

The recognition of the close connection between the laws of microphysics (nuclear and particle physics) and macrophysics (astrophysics and cosmology) is one of the most important discoveries of this century (see Fig. 1 and [Gro90, Kla88a, Kla90c, Kol90]). The barriers between these”classical” disciplines are becoming in some sense more and more meaningless. Nuclear physics, e.g., may give — as non-accelerator particle physics — important contributions to beyond standard model physics (double beta decay, proton decay,…). One of the best examples for this situation is given by the neutrino (Fig. 2).
