Summary:

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. <i>Sample Chapter(s)</i><br>Chapter 1: New Physics in B and K Decays (1,704 KB)<br> <br><i>Contents:
