Alan Astbury, Faqir Khanna, Roger Moore9789812703675, 981-270-367-5

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.
