Abstract

It was three years ago this summer that the Gargamelle Collaboration discovered neutral-current phenomenal--perhaps the most important high-energy physics discovery made on this side of the Atlantic since the discoveries of pions and strange particles in the late 1940s. The initial phase of this three-year period may be called the “discovery era,” during which we witnessed breathtaking “alternating neutral currents.” It appears that this first era, which may be characterized as allegro con brio,2 is now over, and we have entered a new era during which we are confronted with the extraordinarily difficult task of determining the detailed space-time and internal properties of the hadronic and leptonic neutral currents. The tempo of the present era may perhaps be described as lento.
