From Symmetries to Strings: Forty Years of Rochester Conferences; Rochester, New York; May 4-5, 1990

1990年5月4日至5日，罗切斯特大学将举办一场名为“从对称性到弦乐：罗切斯特会议四十年”的研讨会。这次研讨会的目的是回顾基本粒子物理学的理论和实验发展，并评估我们在这一领域的地位。演讲者将来自多个理论和实验研究领域的专家。目前，除了实验室中已经看到的东西之外，还有许多关于可能的物理学的理论猜测。新的机器刚刚开始产生数据，这些数据可能会检验其中一些想法。随着新数据的出现，一个评估我们所处位置的研讨会将起到非常有用的作用，即集中我们的想法。

A symposium entitled "From Symmetries to Strings: Forty Years of Rochester Conferences" will be held May 4-5, 1990 at the University of Rochester. The purpose of this symposium is to review theoretical and experimental developments in elementary particle physics, and to assess where we stand in this field. The speakers will be experts from numerous areas of theoretical and experimental research. At the present moment, there exist many theoretical conjectures concerning possible physics beyond what has already been seen in the laboratory. New machines are just starting to produce data which may test some of these ideas. A symposium to assess where we stand will serve the very useful function of focussing our thinking as the new data begins to be available.
