"Of fundamental importance is a knowledge of the character of the forces and interactions occuring in nature The problems which are of current interest in high energy physics are
"The search for new particles of considerable importance is the search for a particle-the boson
"A further question that must be clarified is whether particles with magnetic charges exist ie so called magnetic monopoles
"Finally we would like to know niore about the dynamics of elementary particle processes and the structure of the particles themselves For instance, what is the explanation for the phenomenon of the invalidity of the law of time reversal in the case of K-meson decay?
"New experiments indicate that the nucleons probably contain punctiform sub-structures How is that to be interpreted? For sometime now we have suspected the existance of a minute length to which our normal conceptions of space and time no longer apply, specially with regard to physical causality" FUTURE FIELD OF RESEARCH
If we look at micro-structures as known to us so far from particle physics, they appear to be extremely complicated It is of course true that attempts have been made here and there to set up theoretical models However, many keys must still be found for the same to a comprehensive understanding of the origin of matter So far every advance to higher accelerator energy levels has brought new findings and some surprises It could perhaps be that knowledge of three basic buildings blocks would suffice to clarify the world of elementary particles Whatever the new 300-Gev accelerator brings, one can say without doubt that it will conlnbute greatly to our
