The countries represented were Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Bulgaria, Canada, People's Republic of China, Denmark, the Federal Republic of Germany, France, Greece, Hungary, Iran, Israel, Italy, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Mexico, the Netherlands, Pakistan, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, Turkey, the United Kingdom, the United States of America. The School was sponsored by the Italian Ministry of Public Education (MPI), the Italian Ministry of Scientific and Technologi cal Research (MRST), the Regional Sicilian Government (ERS), and the Weizmann Institute of Science. The programme of the School was devoted to a review of the most significant results in theoretical and experimental research work on the interactions between what we believe today are the point like constituents of the world: quarks and leptons. It should however not be forgotten that many problems are still to be understood: especially in the forefront of the correla tion between quarks and leptons. This game started in 1966 with the proposal for "leptonic quarks" and went on with "preons" and "rishons" just to quote the most famous attempts to unify these two worlds. I hope the reader will enjoy the book as much as the students enjoyed attending the lectures and the discussion sessions, which are one of the most attractive features of the School. Thanks to the work of the Scientific Secretaries the discussions have been reproduced as faithfully as possible. At various stages of my work I have enjoyed the collaboration of many friends whose contributions have been extremely important for the School and v vi PREFACE are highly appreciated. I thank them most warmly. A final ackno wledgement to all those who, in Erice, Bologna, Rome and Geneva, have helped me on so many occasions and to whom I feel very indebted.

INTRODUCTION So far, the main picture of hadronic physics has been based on a distinction between high-PT and low-PT phenomena. In the framework of parton model, high-PT processes were the only candidates to establish a link between • purely hadronic processes • (e+e-) annihilations • (DIS) processes The advent of QCD has emphasized in a dramatic way the privi leged role of high-PT physics due to the fact that, thanks to asymp totic freedom, QCD calculations via perturbative methods can be attempted at high-PT and results successfully compared with experi mental data [1]. The conclusion was: we can forget about everything else and limit ourselves to high-PT physics. Being theoretically off limits, low-PT phenomena, which repre sent the overwhelming majority of hadronic processes (more than 99\ 2 A. ZICHICHI ET AL. of physics it is here), have been up to now neglected. By subtracting the leading proton effects in order to derive the effective energy available for particle production and by using the correct variables, the BCF collaboration has performed a systematic study of the final states produced in low-PT (pp) interactions at the ISR and has com pared the results with those obtained in the processes listed below: Process Data Sources + - (e e ) SLAC, DORIS, PETRA (DIS) SPS/EMC (pp) } { ISR (!FS) Transverse physics (pp) SPS Collider (UA1) + - (e e ) PETRA/TASSO (leading subtraction) The results of this study [2-18] show that, once a common basis for comparison is found by the use of the correct variables, remark able analogies are observed in processes so far considered basically different like • low-PT (pp) interactions • (e+ e-) annihilations • (DIS) processes high-PT (pp) and (pp) interactions This is how universality features emerge, and this is the basis to proceed for a meaningful comparison, i.e.: tiI§t identify the correct variables to establish a common basis, then proceed to a detailed comparison* . 1.1 The leadinq effect I would like to show you the importance of the leading proton effect at the ISR. * The root of this new approach to the study of hadronic inter actions goes back a long time to a proposal by the CERN-Bologna group: ·Study of deep inelastic high momentum transfer hadronic collisions· PMI/com-69/35, 8 July 1969.
