High-Energy Physics and Cosmology

Proceedings of a January 1997 conference, presenting the latest research on areas including neutrino masses, age and total mass of the universe, the nature of dark matter, monopoles, and supersymmetry. Contains sections on neutrino physics, progress on new and old ideas, cosmology and elementary particles, gauge symmetries and gravity, light cone quantization, and current experiments in high energy physics. Specific topics include exotic hadrons, the seismic search for strange quark matter, gauge symmetry in fivebrane conformal field theory, and the search for new particles with DELPHI.
