The Lepton–Photon symposia are among the most popular conferences in high-energy physics, since they give in-depth snapshots of the status of the field as provided by leading experts. Inside this volume, readers will find the latest results on flavour factories, quantum chromodynamics, electroweak physics, dark-matter searches, neutrino physics and cosmology, from a phenomenological point of view. It also offers a glimpse of the immediate future through summaries on the status of the next generation of high-energy accelerators and planned facilities for astroparticle physics. The review nature of the articles makes the volume useful to students, as well as to established researchers in high-energy and astroparticle physics.
