Proceedings of Summer Institute on Particle Physics, August 16-27, 1982: Physics at Very High Energies
- SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC), Menlo Park, CA (United States)
This year's SLAC Summer Institute on Particle Physics was held from August 15 to August 27, 1982, its 10th meeting. The celebration of this birthday was absorbed into a more general celebration of 5th, 10th, 15th, 20th, and 25th anniversaries of many significant events in the life of the laboratory. The title of this year's Institute was "Physics at Very High Energies," and in pursuing that theme we heard lectures on the Standard Model, and on what may lie beyond it, from varying degrees of heresy. We heard of the new tools being designed and built to probe the secrets to be found at higher energies than presently attainable, and reviewed the existing experimental data that shed light on the physics of very high energy. The now traditional format for the Institute was followed, the first seven days being spent with the mornings given to pedagogic lectures on the experimental and theoretical foundations of the topic. In the afternoon we had seminars and (often) lively discussions of the morning's lectures. The "school" led into a three-day topical conference in which the most recent theoretical and experimental results were presents and discussed. We heard the first results from the CERN $$\bar {p}p$$ collider, and perhaps the first clear evidence of jets in hadronic collisions from the $$\bar {p}p$$ and new ISR experiments.
