Aims, prospects, and repercussions of high‐energy physics
NOV 01, 1964
A special session on high‐energy physics was held during the Washington meeting, last April, of the American Physical Society. The session consisted of three invited papers and a roundtable discussion which are presented on the following pages. Milton White, professor of physics at Princeton University and director of the Princeton‐Pennsylvania Accelerator, arranged the session. Frederick Seitz, professor of physics at the University of Illinois and president of the National Academy of Sciences, was chairman.

This gathering, not an ordinary session concerned with scientific research, is devoted to appraising and evaluating the general spirit of high‐energy physics. We hope to bring to the surface the reason it is an important field of science—the reason it should continue to receive support in something like the exponentially growing rate that it has in the past.
