Brief Summary of Each Supplement


Progress of Theoretical Physics Supplement No. 151



Quarks, Astrophysics and Space Physics


Proceedings of the Tokyo-Adelaide Joint Workshop

Edited by Tetsuo Hatsuda, Masaki Mori, Katsuhiko Sato and Toshio Terasawa

This volume is a Proceedings of the Tokyo-Adelaide Joint Workshop ``Quarks, Astrophysics and Space Physics" which was held at the School of Science, University of Tokyo, (Jan. 6-10, 2003). The basic concept of this workshop was to bring together physicists working in nuclear physics, astrophysics and space physics and to summarize the latest developments in different areas as well as to have discussions in an interdisciplinary atmosphere.

The first half of this volume contains lectures presented at the plenary session of the workshop. The topics include quantum chromodynamics, supernovae and neutron stars, neutrino astrophysics, ultra-high energy cosmic rays, space plasma physics and gravitational waves. The latter half of this volume contains the talks given at the parallel session I (quantum chromodynamics) and parallel session II (ultra-high energy cosmic ray and space plasma physics).

Since this volume covers diverse but closely related subjects in fundamental physics, we believe it will be useful not only for experts but also for non-experts and students to get an overall view of the recent progress in subatomic physics, astrophysics and space physics.
