Present and Future of High-Energy Physics

Recently, the collaboration between theory and experiments
in high-energy physics has become again more fruitful,
important and practically indispensable. The contributions
to this volume clearly summarize, in terms of the standard
model of elementary particles, the present understanding of
high-energy physics and present an outlook how to go beyond
this standard model. Phenomenological aspects are stressed
outlining possible extensions of the standard model with
main topics covering higher order corrected electroweak
interactions, CP violation, quark flavour mixing, lattice
QCD, and dynamical electroweak symmetry breaking. Many new
experiments are described to explore high-energy physics
either by the highest available accelerators or by very
high precision experiments forrare processes. Including a
variety of theoretical models proposed beyond the standard
model, it presents a global knowledge and a balanced view of
high-energy physics reaching beyond this decade.
