Recently there has been rapid progress towards understanding the
separate theories of the strong, weak and electromagnetic inter
actions within the framework of the standard SU(3) x SU(2) x U(l)
model. The purpose of the Second Workshop on Grand Unification was
to discuss the physics beyond the standard model and the major
topic was grand unified theories which unify the strong, weak and
electromagnetic sectors. Grand unified theories are presently being
used to calculate experimentally accessible quantities such as the
proton lifetime and nucleon decay branching ratios. Meanwhile,
experiments are currently being performed, and new, dedicated
experiments mounted, to measure these quantities. Reports on these
experimental and theoretical activities occupied much of the
workshop. Furthermore, since grand unified theories allow one to
extrapolate the behavior of the universe back to the first instants
after the big bang, their cosmological implications and the
constraints on these theories from cosmology were of great interest
at the workshop. The conference opened with a keynote address by S.
L. Glashow in which he discussed among other topics baryon minus
lepton number conservation, neutrino masses and a neutrino-free
universe. To maximize the interplay between theorists and
experimentalists, theoretical and experimental talks were
interleaved. An experimental highlight of the workshop was the
presentation by S. Miyake of three candidate events for proton
decay."
