Summary talk: quantum field theory

Summary Talk*

It is a special pleasure to return once more to this beautiful city of Bonn and to join together for this brief week with colleagues from the world over, temporarily insulating ourselves from the funding problems, the political strains and the nuclear dangers of the transitory world of man, and refreshing ourselves in the mutual search for an understanding of that one and only enduring Nature t...

Summary Talk

Highlights of the meeting include new insights into r and s-processes and an explosion of interesting abundance data on stars in the Galactic halo and in dwarf spheroidal galaxies. I include in this summary a few suggestions on the chemical evolution of the Thick and Thin disks, and on the present and past distribution of baryons and metals in the universe.

QCD and high energy hadronic interaction: Summary talk (theory)

Results presented in perturbative QCD are reviewed. The topics discussed include: struction functions, heavy flavour production, direct photon production, inclusive production at LHC/SSC, small x physics, QCD jets and intermittency. For reference to the data in this talk see the summary presented by J.E. Augustin. 1. Struction functions. New data on deep inelastic structure functions by NMC and...
