High Energy Physics 99 contains the 18 invited plenary presentations and 250 contributions to parallel sessions presented at the International Europhysics Conference on High Energy Physics. The book provides a comprehensive survey of the latest developments in high energy physics. Topics discussed include hard high energy, structure functions, soft interactions, heavy flavor, the standard model, hadron spectroscopy, neutrino masses, particle astrophysics, field theory, and detector development.

A comprehensive and up-to-date overview of soft and hard diffraction processes in strong interaction physics. The first part covers soft hadron—hadron scattering in a complete and mature presentation. It can be used as a textbook in particle physics classes. Chapters 8-11 address graduate students as well as researchers, covering the "new diffraction": the pomeron in QCD, low-x physics, diffractive deep inelastic scattering and related processes.

50 years after the discovery of the pion in Bristol, the conference “Physics in Collision XVII” showed how far particle physics has come. There were hints of new physics at HERA and neutrino oscillations as well as the latest results from LEP and the Tevatron. The proceedings present the current status and future direction of particle physics.

This volume focusses on four main topics: structure functions, tests of quantum chromodynamics, physics at the highest Q2 and p2T, and high energy scattering and diffraction. Comprehensive review articles on hadronic and photon structure, lepton-parton and parton-parton physics as well as future experimental opportunities are presented, together with a special lecture on HERA's legacy after the first decade of operation.

Recently there has been much interest in studying events with tagged forward protons at the existing and forthcoming hadronic colliders, the Tevatron and the LHC. These studies not only allow one to monitor the luminosity of the colliding protons with high accuracy but also provide new ways of investigating the subtle issues of QCD dynamics and searches for the manifestations of new physics. This book reviews the state of the art of forward physics measurements and the theoretical development. It will catalyze many new approaches within the framework of the extensive physics programme of the LHC. This in turn will stimulate closer contact between the LHC experiments as well as between the experimentalists and the theorists to maximize the potenntial of LHC physics. Contents: Diffraction of Hadrons at High Energies (A B Kaidalov); Pomeron Before and After QCD (L N Lipatov); Diffraction at HERA (P Marage); Requirements from Precision Physics at LHC on the Luminosity Accuracy (S Tapprogge); LHC Machine Instrumentation for Luminosity Measurements (L Vos & S Weisz); Evolution of Forward Multi-Particle Spectrometers at Storage Rings (P Schlein); New Silicon Detector Technologies for Forward Physics (E H M Heijne); Luminosity Monitoring at LHCb (M Ferro-Luzzi); and other papers. Readership: Academics, researchers and graduate students in high-energy, accelerator, experimental and theoretical physics.

Multiparticle dynamics is tightly connected with the fundamental properties of the QCD vacuum. This was reflected in the Scientific Programme of the XXVIII International Symposium on Multiparticle Dynamics. Emphasis was given during the sessions to the collective phenomena at high energies, including: fluctuations and correlations, quark-gluon plasma, QCD phase transitions (fractals, intermittency, wavelets), the QCD structure of the Pomeron, and new aspects of multiplicity distributions.
