  2. Discovery of anti-baryons
  3. Discovery of resonances
  4. Substructure of nucleons and the parton model
  5. The QCD Lagrangian, quark and gluon jets
  6. The Development of the Weak interaction
  7. Local four-fermion interactions
  8. Parity violation
  9. Yang Mills theories
  10. The Higgs Mechanism and massive vector bosons
  11. The GSW theory
  12. Fermions in the Standard model
  13. The GIM mechanism
  14. Discovery of charm, bottom and top
  15. The CKM matrix and CP violation
  16. Testing the Standard Model
  17. Electroweak precision tests
  18. S,T,U parameters
  19. The number of Neutrinos
  20. B physics and CP violation
  21. Direct searches for new particles
  22. Effective Field theories
