• Sommario/riassunto: This proceedings volume contains the latest developments in particle physics in collider experiments. The contributions cover new results such as the production of quark-gluon plasma in the heavy-ion collider, the new techniques for precision measurement at low energies, and the status of neutrino physics at various laboratories including the new facilities that are at the planning stage. <i>Sample Chapter(s)</i><br>Chapter 1: Making Precision Measurements at Hadron Colliders: Two Lectures (1,408 KB)<br> <br><i>Contents:</i><ul><li>Making Precision Measurements at Hadron Colliders: Two Lectu
