Physics up to 200 TeV [proceedings of the Twenty-Eighth Course of the International School of Subnuclear Physics on Physics up to 200 TeV, held July 16 - 24, 1990, in Erice, Sicily, Italy

During July 1990. a group of 83 physicists from 43 laboratories in 21 countries met in Erice for the 28th Course of the International School of Subnuclear Physics. The countries represented were: Algeria. Canada. Chile. China. Czechoslovakia. Denmark. France. the Federal Republic of Germany. Greece. Holland. India. Italy. Pakistan. Peru. Poland. Sweden. Switzerland. Turkey. the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. the United Kingdom. and the United States of America. The School was sponsored by the European Physical Society (EPS). the Italian Ministry of Education (MPI). the Italian Ministry of University and Scientific Research. the Sicilian Regional Government (ERS). and the Weizmann Institute of Science. The new topic discussed in some detail at the School was QCD phenomenology at 200 TeV. This energy frontier represents the goal for subnuclear physics after LHC and sse. The main lecturers were T.D. Lee. L. Cifarelli. Y. Dokshitzer and A. Ringwald. There are two possibilities. one optimistic. the other pessimistic. LHC and SSC can produce remarkable discoveries. In this case. the need to go to higher energies will be obvious. In the pessimistic case. LHC and SSC will produce the strongest evidence for the validity of the Standard Model. The need for higher energies will be impelled. In neither case can we wait. If the 200 TeV frontier is to be reached within our lifetime we need to start now: thinking and preparing the tools. Theory and R & D for future detectors are the basic points of the 200 TeV frontier Front Matter....Pages i-viii Particle Physics in the Nineties....Pages 1-15 Light and Heavy Quark Jets in Perturbative QCD....Pages 17-45 Crucial Experiments at 200 TeV....Pages 47-72 Relativistic Ion Collisions and 200 TeV Physics....Pages 73-91 Derivation of the Minimal Standard Model Lagrangian....Pages 93-141 Weak Scale Supersymmetry....Pages 143-153 Heterotic and Type II Superstrings Compactified on Calabi-Yau Manifolds....Pages 155-179 Symmetries of Extended Objects....Pages 181-210 First Results at the LEP e + e - Collider....Pages 211-247 A Crucial Test for QCD: The Time-Like E.M.
