Research can be divided into two categories, the first dealing with the phenomenological treatment of two-body collisions, and the second dealing with symmetry-breaking and charm within the framework of the quark model. A partial-wave amplitude analysis of ..pi../sup +/ proton elastic scattering at incident pion momenta between 1.6 GeV/c and 10 GeV/c has been made. The partial wave amplitudes agree with those at lower momenta and are close to the Regge amplitudes at higher momenta. A number of new ..delta.. resonances are suggested. Also high energy proton-proton scattering was analyzed using Reggeon field theory and a bare pomeron intercept above unity. Furthermore, high energy pion-nucleon charge-exchange data were described by including absorptive corrections to a rho Reggeon exchange. In the second category, meson mass spectra, including predicted masses of charmed mesons, in the quark model using attractive 1/r plus linear confining potentials. The quark model was used to obtain relations among electromagnetic mass splittings of mesons, including charmed mesons, to calculate the pion form factor, and to obtain magnetic moments of baryons. Also restrictions on a quark potential with confinement were discussed in order to obtain linear Regge trajectories. A list of publications is included.
