which naturally leads to international cooperation between scientists from different
countries, political traditions, creeds and mentalities. To learn how to adapt to such
an international environment represents a human value which goes much beyond
the scientific achievements.
The stunning success of the “Standard Model of particle physics” also exhibits
with remarkable clarity its limitations. The many open fundamental issues—
origin of CP-violation, neutrino mass, dark matter and dark energy, to name just
few—are motivating a vast, multi-faceted research programme for accelerator- and
non-accelerator based, earth- and space-based experimentation. This has led to a
vigorous R&D in detectors and data handling.
This revised edition provides an update on these developments over the past 7–9
years.
We gratefully acknowledge the very constructive collaboration with the authors
of the first edition, in several cases assisted by additional authors. May this Open
Access publication reach a global readership, for the benefit of science.
