The conference covers recent experimental and theoretical advances in the study of the nature of photons at high energy. These photons are studied at large particle accelerators, such as the LEP accelerator based in Geneva, Switzerland, and the HERA accelerator in Hamburg, Germany. The prospects for this work at planned future accelerators are also described.

<p>This symposium is a triennial event, held in different places around the world (next symposium will be in Japan, in 2003). The topic of the symposium is the development of electron beam ion sources and traps and their applications, so far in basic science and research, but with prospects for extending them into other areas. Potential readers would have an interest in atomic physics and applications to accelerator physics.</p>

An overview of the state of the art in density functional theory is presented. Not only the recent theoretical developments but also the achievements in calculating mechanical and electronic properties of molecules, polymers, and solids are described. Recent developments related to the construction of exchange-correlation functionals used in density functional theory for ground and excited states are presented. Applications to materials modeling in general as well as to nanotubes, quantum dots, and artificial molecules are incorporated. Topics such as optical excitations, critical temperatures of superconductors, and state-of-the-art Monte Carlo calculations are also discussed.

Many physicists and astrophysicists are searching for information about the highest energy and therefore rarest cosmic rays. This has motivated efforts to instrument larger and larger volumes of material, leading to a resurgence of radio detection techniques. Particle-astrophysicists from around the world gathered to share recent results, simulations, hardware techniques, and historical reminiscences.

The workshop brought together scientists working on the development of x-ray free-electron lasers and their applications. X-ray free-electron lasers produce high intensity, subpicosecond long, coherent, x-ray pulses, and will open a new frontier to study the structure of matter at the molecular and atomic level. Some fields of interest are structural changes in chemical reactions, single biological molecules, warm plasmas, nanosystems.

The Gamma-Ray Astrophysics 2001 Symposium offered the opportunity for participants to discuss important results from the nine years of operations of the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO), which ceased operations on June 4, 2000. Discussions also included new results from current missions such as HETE-II, Chandra, and XMM-Newton. In addition, results from ground-based VHE gamma-ray and radion observatories, and other ground-based and space missions related to high energy astrophysical sources were discussed. On the horizon, new gamma-ray space telescopies like GLAST, Swift, INTEGRAL, and AGILE will be launched in the next few years. Papers include mission capabilities and anticipated science from these upcoming missions.

MRST 2001, the 23rd of a series of meetings in theoretical high energy physics that normally rotate between McGill University, The University of Toronto, The University of Rochester, and Syracuse University, honors the memory of Roger Migneron, a frequent participant in past MRST meetings and a strong contributor to elementary particle physics in Canada. Two special sessions present exciting advances in theoretical high energy physics by several outstanding physicists. Topics include: gravity/geometry; B-physics; quarks, gluons, and mesons; field theory; as well as branes, strings, and things.

<p>These contributions report on the progress and present the state-of-the-art in theoretical and experimental physics of elementary particles and atomic nuclei. Topics include the structure of nuclear constituents and their interactions, properties of light nuclei and methods of their theoretical description as effective field theory and relativity, and creationa and properties of systems with non-zero strangeness.</p>

Mesons and Light Nuclei: 8th Conference, Prague, Czech Republic, 2-6 July 2001 (AIP Conference Proceedings, 603)

This book covers a broad range of currently hot topics in atomic physics. Rapid progress both in experimental and theoretical techniques lead to continuously growing insight into topics like many-body and electron-electron correlation effects in excitation and charge transfer processes. Furthermore, established techniques originally developed to study atomic collisions have been refined to a point where they are now being applied to chemical, solid state and even biological systems, thus providing links to other scientific areas.
