Accelerator and detector prospects of elementary particle physics

This review treats the progressive changes in the field of physics and technology of accelerators, and in part, of detectors, which have exerted and will in the near future exert a fundamental influence on the development of elementary-particle physics. In particular, it discusses the possibilities of generation of beams of elementary particles and the prospects of performing experiments with colliding beams involving the development of methods of cooling charged-particle beams, designing superconducting systems, and developing superlinacs.
