Highlights of the Conference



The 31st biannual conference on high-energy physics was held from 24 - 31 July 2002 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. This conference continues in the tradition of the Rochester conferences, a long-held cornerstone of the international physics community.

A major point of interest lies in potential black hole production in upcoming experiments at the Large Hadron Collider, scheduled to come online in 2007. Highlights of the conference included a public lecture 'The Universe within the Atom,' by Gerard 't Hooft, Nobel laurate in physics 1999.
