Many of the current questions in particle physics can be addressed with the advent of the Large Hadron Collider, the worlds most powerful particle accelerator, at the European research centre for particle physics, CERN, in Geneva, Switzerland. Moreover, new space telescopes allow for better observations of high energy processes in space. This book presents the status of the field of particle physics at the highest available energies, and presents the recent results and experimental techniques, together with the future of the field. It will be needed and used by researchers from both high energy and astrophysics, since these communities increasingly join to answer key questions of physics.
