Astroparticle physics——the interface between astronomy and particle physics

Astroparticle physics is a rapidly growing interdisciplinary area which has seen dramatic breakthroughs and spectacular discoveries in the past few years. Recent advances in this area are reviewed, but due to length limits only selected topics are covered, including dark matter and relic particles, neutrino astronomy, γ astronomy, cosmic rays, cosmic microwave background and inflation, and the early universe.
