World Scientific Series in 20th Century Physics - Vol. 1

GAUGE THEORIES - PAST AND FUTURE
In Commemoration of the 60th Birthday of M Veltman
Ann Arbor, Michigan 16 - 18 May 1991

edited by R Akhoury (Univ. Michigan), B de Wit (Utrecht) P van Nieuwenhuizen (StonyBrook) & H Veltman (DESY)

This is a commemoration volume to honor Professor M Veltman on the ocassion of his 60th birthday. It contains articles on Gauge field theories, a subject to which Prof. Veltman has made many important and seminal contributions. Some of the contributions are based on invited talks given at the Conference held in Ann Arbor, Michigan, May 16 – 18 1991. The articles in the book cover a wide range of topics from formal and phenomenological to the experimental aspects of Gauge theories.
