FOREWORD Each summer from June through July, there are held at the Trieste Centre extended workshops on particle physics and condensed matter physics on areas of topical interest. The format is by and large informal with lectures in the mornings, the afternoons being free for discussion sessions. It was felt that, to make the material covered available to a wider audience, it would be worthwhile to publish the proceedings of these workshops as “The ICTP Series in Theoretical Physics’. The current volume is the first such, and is based on the 1983 particle physics workshop on V= | Supergravity. March 1984 Abdus Salam
