[en] This volume brings together physicists from around the world to report and discuss the exciting advances made recently in theoretical and experimental aspects of gauge interactions. Following a presentation of the theoretical foundations of and recent developments in gauge fields, the contrib utors fogus on supersymmetry, the derivation of Higgs particles from gauge fields, and heavy leptons. Other chapters discuss the use of quantum chromodynamics in describing basic interactions among quarks and gluons, in predicting the existence of glueballs, and in application to heavy flavor production in strong interactions. The editor, Antonino Zichichi, provides a study of the multiparticle hadronic systems produced in highenergy soft (pp) interactions. Other interesting chapters deal with photon scattering at very high energies and theoretical alternatives to the electroweak model, and the volume concludes with proposals for future experimental facilities for European physics
