The BNL cascade experiment and the Fermilab 2V experiment both have had papers published and both have drafts of further papers nearing completion. The BNL glueball experiment was run and is being processed. Fermilab phi phi data is still being processed. Considerable effort in hardware and software is going into preparing for the 1984 run of the Fermilab jet experiment and the new quark-quark scattering experiment. Theoretical work is continuing on the predictions of perturbative QCD. Leading and next-to-leading logarithm terms were investigated for deep inelastic Compton scattering. Scaling violations in deep inelastic scattering were analyzed, and new Q/sup 2/-dependent parton distributions have been prepared. An expanded analysis of exclusive J/psi decays into tensor mesons has been completed. Calculations have been started on the higher order QCD corrections to direct photon production by hadrons and symmetric high P/sub T/ hadron pair production. New work on a finite lattice Hamiltonian analysis of a U(1) gauge theory in 2 + 1 dimensions has been completed. New work on QCD based Monte Carlo generation of high energy events is being started. Calculations of moon motion over billions of years show consistency with the Large Number hypothesis. Efforts are being made to bring quantum theory into a more consistent form by analyzing pathological representations of the Lorentz group. A generalized gravitational theory has been completed in which spin appears as a mode of free motion. Publications are listed. (WHK)
