PASCOS-07 is the 13th in a series of interdisciplinary symposia on the interface of particle physics, string theory and cosmology. Since the first PASCOS symposium in 1991 it has become increasingly obvious how beneficial the interaction between these disciplines is. With the startup of LHC at hand, the launch date of the Planck satellite approaching and many other exciting experiments under way or being planned, PASCOS-07 will look into an exciting future. It will give theorists an opportunity to prepare for this wealth of new data and the stringent tests to which they will subject the existing theories.

The aims of the conference are to review the recent progress in particle physics, string theory and cosmology, promote the exchange of ideas and discuss the future. While the conference is mainly aimed at theorists, there will be a significant experimental component, with discussion of new results and future experiments, in particular the LHC.

Symposium topics include:
> Current and future high energy experiments
> Cosmic microwave background
> Dark energy and dark matter
> Inflation and cosmological perturbations
> Particle astrophysics
> QCD and quark gluon plasma
> Flavour problem and CP violation
> Neutrino physics
> Higgs and SUSY phenomenology
> Extra dimensions
> String and M-theory model building
> String and brane cosmology
> Applications of string theory techniques

Special “Salam + 50” Event on 7 July
On the last day of the symposium, Saturday 7 July, there will be a series of public talks marking the 50th anniversary of the arrival of the Nobel Laureate Professor Abdus Salam at Imperial College.
