We describe theoretical work on an effective low energy theory of hadrons, dynamical symmetry breaking, anomalies, supersymmetry and the phenomenology of Higgs particles. The high energy experimental group at Louisiana State University has collaborated with Columbia, Stony Brook, and the Max Planck Institute on an experiment at the North Area of CESR. This experiment studied electron-positron annihilations in the region of the new upsilon family of particles with an apparatus optimized for detecting leptons and photons. The T''' 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 T' and T'' have also been measured as well as electromagnetic transition among the bb bound states. LSU contributed the muon detector for the experiment. We have concluded our participation in this experiment. 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 in 1985. We have also started to work on an e/sup +/e/sup -/ experiment AMY which will run at TRISTAN in Japan.
