Fundamental Interactions - Proceedings Of The 22nd Lake Louise Winter Institute

by Alan Astbury, Faqir C Khanna, Roger W Moore

Overview

This proceedings volume contains the latest results from the field of particle physics. The contributions cover the current status of all the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) experiments, the implications of the LHC for cosmology, and the search for dark matter and nuclear astrophysics. It also includes work on the current status of the future International Linear Collider (ILC).
