Abstract

Recent developments in elementary-particle physics are discussed in a general review, with a focus on efforts underway to combine disparate theories in a comprehensive model. Topics examined include quarks, colors, fundamental interactions, screening, camouflage, electroweak symmetry, unification, open questions, and the potential role of the superconducting supercollider proposed by the High Energy Physics Advisory Panel to the U.S. Department of Energy in 1983 in exploring 1-TeV particle interactions. Graphs, diagrams, tables, computer-synthesized particle signatures, and a sketch of the proposed supercollider are provided.
