Problems in Strong and Weak Interactions

基本粒子物理学的理论研究将强调将非微扰量子场论方法应用于各种问题，这些问题不能通过将物理学的某一部分视为微扰来解决。其中一个问题是，由于量子力学隧穿，重子(核子)数在高能时可能不守恒。第二个是弦的场论的完成。高能重子数非守恒将导致超导超级对撞机上非常有趣的碰撞，弦的场论将是基本力弦理论发展的重要一步。

Theoretical research in elementary particle physics will emphasize the application of non-perturbative quantum field theory methods to a variety of problems which cannot be solved by treating some part of the physics as a perturbation. One of these problems is the possible non-conservation of baryon (nucleon) number at high energies due to quantum-mechanical tunneling. A second is the completion of a field theory of strings. Baryon number non-conservation at high energies would lead to extremely interesting collisions at the Superconducting Super Collider, and a field theory of strings would be an important step in the evolution of a string theory of the fundamental forces.
