摘要：This review emphasizes the close analogy between hard QCD instanton-
induced chirality violating processes in deep-inelastic scattering and electroweak instan-
ton-induced baryon plus lepton number (B + L) violating processes in Quantum Flavor
Dynamics (QFD). Recent information about QCD instantons, both from lattice sim-
ulations and from the H1 experiment at HERA, can be used to learn about the fate of
electroweak B+L violation at future high energy colliders in the hundreds of TeV regime,
such as the projected Very Large Hadron Collider (VLHC). The cross-sections turn out
to be unobservably small in a conservative ¯ducial kinematical region inferred from the
above mentioned QCD{QFD analogy. An extrapolation { still compatible with lattice
results and HERA { beyond this conservative limit indicates possible observability at
VLHC.
