Cosmology and Particle Astrophysics

The 2002 International Symposium on Cosmology and Particle Astrophysics (CosPA2002) was held from 31 May to 2 June 2002, in Taipei, Taiwan. The topics covered during the symposium included: (1) CMB physics - SZ surveys, polarizations, large-scale structures, gravitational lensing, and data analysis; (2) dark energy and dark matter - dark matter physics, quintessence and the cosmological constant; (3) cosmology of ultra high energy cosmic rays; and (4) inflation and new physics - inflation, noncommutative geometry, branes and extra dimensions.
