Particle Physics and the Universe: Proceedings of the 9th Adriatic Meeting, Sept. 2003, Dubrovnik

Ernest Ma (auth.), Professor Josip Trampetić, Professor Julius Wess (eds.)9783540228035, 3-540-22803-9

The focus of the contributions contained in this proceedings is the interplay between cosmology, astroparticle physics and particle physics, both from the theoretical and experimental point of view. The Adriatic Meetings have traditionally been one of the very few physics conferences devoted to the most advanced status of science while aiming at a very broad participation of both young and experienced researchers with diverse backgrounds in particle physics.
