Lepton-photon Interactions, Lp'97 - Proceedings Of The Xviii International Symposium

This book constitutes the proceedings of the XVIII International Symposium on Lepton-Photon Interactions. It contains 30 review papers on the latest developments by experts in the field. The subjects cover the structure of photons and hadrons, progress in QCD and diffraction, heavy quark (c, b, t) physics, electroweak precision measurements and tests, CP violation, neutrino physics, searches for new particles and phenomena, cosmology, progress in theory and physics at future colliders.
