About this Item
Dust jacket condition: No Jacket. Solid retired library book with usual library markings; else VG. Text free of underlining, writing and highlighting. FOREWORD During two weeks in July 1967, 128 physicists from thirty four countries met in Erice to attend the fifth course of the International School of Physics "Ettore Majorana," the proceedings of which are contained in this book. The countries represented at the School were: Algeria, Austria, Australia, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, Czechoslovakia, Denmark, Federal Republic of Germany, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, India, Israel, Iraq, Italy, Japan, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Pakistan, Poland, Portugal, Rumania, Spain, Sudan, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, United States and Yugoslavia. t The School was sponsored by the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the Italian Ministry of Public Education (MPI), the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and the Weizmann Institute of Science. The programme of the School was influenced by the successes of Current and Field Algebras, Soft Pion Techniques and Chiral Symmetries in the interpretation of Elementary Particle Physics. All these aspects of our present-day problems in Advanced Physics, together with some related experimental investigations, were taught and discussed in Erice. I hope the reader will enjoy the book as much as the students enjoyed attending the lectures and the discussions. Thanks to the work of the scientific secretaries the discussions have been reproduced as faithfully as possible. At various stages of my work I enjoyed the collaboration of many friends whose contributions have been extremely important for the School and are highly appreciated. I would like to thank most warmly: Dr. T. Massam who .acted as Deputy Director and Administrator of the School; and Drs. L. Maiani and G. Preparata for their excellent work as Scientific Secretaries. A final word of acknowledgement to all those who, in Erice and Geneva, helped me on so many occasions and to whom I feel much indebted^ * A. Zichichi Geneva April 1968 VII 718 pages.
