These proceedings consist of plenary rapporteur talks covering topics of major interest to the high energy physics community and parallel sessions papers which describe recent research results and future plans.

This proceedings volume contains pedagogical lectures on theoretical and experimental particle physics, cosmology and atomic trap physics. It also includes additional contributions that provide up-to-date information on new experimental results from accelerators, underground laboratories, and nuclear astrophysics. This combination of pedagogical talks and topical short talks provides comprehensive information to researchers in the fields of particle physics, cosmology and atomic trap physics.

This proceedings volume contains the latest developments in particle physics in collider experiments. The contributions cover new results such as the production of quark--gluon plasma in the heavy-ion collider, the new techniques for precision measurement at low energies, and the status of neutrino physics at various laboratories including the new facilities that are at the planning stage.

This book contains pedagogical lectures on both theoretical and experimental particle physics, cosmology, and atomic trap physics. Numerous additional contributions provide up-to-date information on new experimental results from accelerators, underground laboratories, and nuclear astrophysics. This combination of pedagogical talks and topical short discussions presents a comprehensive amount of information and latest developments to researchers.
