Coherent x-ray production by coherence saturation was studied, as well as equitemporal optics for shortening the pulse duration of x-ray beams emerging from electron machines. Investigation of the possibilities offered by the transverse electron resonance acceleration scheme continued. Some methods of producing micropole insertion devices - wigglers and undulators with a period less than one millimeter - were considered. Research was carried out in the phenomenology of string theories, as well as more traditional electro-weak theory involving one-loop corrections. Research was pursued in the areas of hadron-hadron collisions and quark-gluon plasma in nucleus-nucleus collisions. Research is reported in the area of the general question of how to postulate new quantum numbers, inclusive reactions, polarization tests of QCD-type theories, novel features in relatively low energy p-p elastic scattering, and analysis of a number of specific reactions in terms of polarization. Work is reported on diffractive hard scattering and statistical analysis for new particle searches. Work on the distribution of heavy particles in a hadron and on b-quark production is also reported.
