Thomas Gerald Pickavance was a leading authority on the design of particle accelerators for high-energy physics and was responsible for the construction of the most powerful accelerator built in this country, at the Rutherford Laboratory of which he was Director. He is chiefly remembered for the skilful, unselfish and unsparing way he made research facilities available for his fellow nuclear physicists and helped them to solve the problems of using large accelerators away from their universities. While Director for Nuclear Physics at the Science Research Council he played a major part in ensuring that the 300 GeV proton synchrotron at CERN was supported by this country and thus made available for the continued pursuit of high-energy physics here. He was elected to the Fellowship in the first year of his Suspension.

Eurasian Journal of Physics and Functional Materials is an international journal published 4 numbers per year starting from October 2017. The aim of the journal is rapid publication of original articles and rewiews in the following areas: nuclear physics, high energy physics, radiation ecology, alternative energy (nuclear and hydrogen, photovoltaic, new energy sources, energy efficiency and energy saving, the energy sector impact on the environment), functional materials and related problems of high technologies.

I discuss how global QCD fits of parton distribution functions (PDFs) can make the somewhat separated fields of high-energy particle physics and lower energy hadronic and nuclear physics interact to the benefit of both. I review specific examples of this interplay from recent works of the CTEQ-Jefferson Lab collaboration, including hadron structure at large parton momentum and gauge boson production at colliders. I devote particular attention to quantifying theoretical uncertainties arising in the treatment of large partonic momentum contributions to deep inelastic scattering (DIS) observables, and to discussing the experimental progress needed to reduce these.

The status of RHIC theory and phenomenology is reviewed with an emphasis on the indications for the creation of a new deconfined state of matter. The critical role of high energy nuclear physics in the development of theoretical tools that address various aspects of the QCD many body dynamics is highlighted. The perspectives for studying nuclear matter under even more extreme conditions at the LHC and the overlap with high energy physics is discussed.

The search for elementary particles is as old as science itself. It is always the most advanced part of physics which strives for an understanding of the fundamental constituents of matter. As physics progressed, the search for elementary particles moved on from chemistry to atomic physics, and then to nuclear physics. Not much more than a decade ago it separated from nuclear physics and became a new field, dealing no longer with the structure of atomic nuclei but with the structure of the constituents of nuclei, the protons and neutrons, and also with the structure of electrons and similar particles. This field is often referred to as high-energy physics because in it beams of particles of extremely high energy are needed for most of the relevant experiments. The purpose of this article is to present a bird’s-eye view of the new aspects which elementary particle research has recently created and to show how they fit into the framework of physics of this century.
