These proceedings cover the lectures delivered at the Fifth
International Summer College on Physics and Contemporary Needs from
June 16-July 4, 1980 at Nathiagali, one of the scenic hill resorts
in the northern part of Pakistan. The college was organized by the
Pakistan Atomic Energy Commission (PAEC) and co-sponsored by the
International Centre for Theroetical Physics (ICTP), Trieste,
Italy. It also received a financial grant from the University
Grants Commission (UGC) for the participation of physicists from
various universities in Pakistan. The college was attended by 22
lecturers and invited seminar speakers, 150 participants from 30
countries, and consisted of 15 concentrated days of lectures,
seminars and informal discussions. These proceedings contain only
some of the regular lectures delivered at Nathiagali, but the
seminars heldthere are listed in the Appendix. This year the main
emphasis of the college was on the fron tiers of physics,
particularly on the recent exciting development in high-energy
physics and astrophysics. However, the lectures delivered at the
college also covered a large sample of other aspects of physics
ranging from low"-temperature physics to plasma physics of of
fusion. The series of colleges of which the present college is the
fifth, an attempt to remove the barrier of isolation for the
physicists working in developing countries, far removed from active
centres of research. It is hoped that these colleges are helping to
fill the gap in communication between the physicists of developing
and advanced countries."
