LEVY and J.-L. BASDEVANT), C.E.R.N. (M. JACOB), the Universite Catholique de Louvain (D. SPEISER and J. WEYERS), and the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven (R. GASTMANS). After 1975, 1977, 1979, and 1981, it was the fifth time they joined their efforts for organizing this Summer Insti tute. This school was characterized by simultaneous progress in the theory of elementary particles and by impressive experimental advances. On the theoretical front, one witnessed the new developments in lattice gauge theories, which explore the world of strongly interacting par ticles in a non-perturbative way, and progress in a better understan ding of the unity of all interactions based on supersymmetry. The experimentalists were ~roud to announce the discovery of the interme diate vector bosons; W- and ZO, at C.E.R.N., while physicists working with e+e- colliding beams continued to probe more deeply the validity of the theoretical models of strong, weak and electromagnetic inter actions. We owe many thanks to all those who have made this Summer Insti tute possible! Thanks are due to the Scientific Committee of NATO and its Presi dent for a generous grant and especially to the head of the Advanced Study Institute Program and his collaborators for their constant help and encouragement. We also thank the National Science Foundation (USA) for their financial assistance. Special thanks are due to the Universite de Nice for having put at our disposal the facilities of the Institut de Cargese. We wish to thank Ms. M.-F. HANSELER, Ms. C. DUCHALAIS, Mr. D. BERNIA, and the inhabitants of Cargese for their kind collaboration. v vi PREFACE We thank Ms. M.-T. BERTONI for her patience and diligence in typing this manuscript. Finally, the financial contribution of the N.V. Kredietbank (Belgium) is gratefully acknowledged. It helped to give this Summer Institute a broader international audience. Mostly, however, we would like to thank all lecturers and parti cipants who came from over 20 countries : the willingness of the former to answer all questions and the keen interest of the latter provided the stimulus which made (we hope) this Institute a success.
