The album contains photos of delegates on several exciting frontier areas of particle physics at energy scales not realizable in terrestrial accelerators and their significance in astrophysics and cosmology. The photos include famous astrophysicists around the world like Bradt Hale, Burgess Cliff, Cowsik Ramanath, etc., who discussed physics beyond the standard model, violations of discrete symmetries, neutrino physics, neutrino astronomy, experimental detection of dark matter, gravitation and feebler new forces, cosmic rays, etc. Some highlights are the latest results from the Kamiokande neutrino detector and status reports on experimental facilities under commission to detect solar and atmospheric neutrinos, WIMP's and dark matter candidates.
