Theoretical work on an effective low energy theory of hadrons, dynamical symmetry breaking, supersymmetry and the phenomenology of Higgs Particles is described. Also, the high energy experimental group at Louisiana State University is collaborating with Columbia, Stony Brook, and the Max Planck Institute on an experiment in progress at the North Area of CESR. This experiment is the study of electron-positron annihilations in the region of the new upsilon family of particles with an apparatus optimized for detecting leptons and photons. The UPSILON''' has been observed with properties consistent with its being above threshold for B meson production and several decay modes have been studied in detail. The ..pi pi.. decays of the UPSILON' and UPSILON'' have also been measured as well as electronmagnetic transition among the b anti b bound states. LSU has contributed the muon detector for the experiment. We expect to conclude our participation in this experiment by May 1984. The LSU group has joined a collaboration to measure neutrino oscillations at Los Alamos. We are now building the equipment for this experiment and should be taking data by the end of 1984. Publications are listed.
