The LEP experiments are making real progress in understanding the structure of the photon, though the results do not yet give such clear demonstrations of QCD in action as the proton structure has done. Other new results are reported,…
The validity of the equivalent-photon approximation for two-photon processes in electron--positron collisions is critically examined. Commonly used forms to describe hadronic two-photon production are shown to lead to sizeable errors. An…

In this talk I first briefly explain the puzzle presented by the high muon content observed in air-showers which point to the ultra high-energy $\gamma$ sources like the HER-X-1. Since it had been suggested that a possible explanation of…
