Recent data obtained in ep collisions at HERA by the H1 collaboration are presented: searches for new phenomena beyond the Standard Model, measurement of the inclusive neutral and charged current cross sections and of the proton structure…
A report is given on the status and recent results from the HEGRA imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACT) concerning Mrk 501 and GRS 1915+105 and on recent results from the HEGRA arrays concerning galactic and extragalactic…
We discuss the effect of $\eta$--$\eta'$ mixing and of axial current anomalies on various decay processes. We describe the 2$\gamma$ decays of $\eta$ and $\eta'$, the radiative decays of low-lying vector mesons as well as the decays…
Recent results on searches for signals of physics beyond Standard Model at the ep collider HERA are reviewed. Limits obtained for contact interaction models, large extra dimensions and finite quark radius are presented. Searches for…

A short review of experimental and theoretical results on the large angle cross sections \gamma\gamma --> {two mesons} and the form factors \gamma*\gamma --> P={pi, \eta, \eta'} is given.
Charm in electron proton collisions is a particularly large and interesting field. For this summary two topics particularly relevant for HERA have been selected. First the study of inelastic J/psi production in both the photoproduction and…
The description of the production of light (anti-)(hyper-)nuclei in a hadron resonance gas, or statistical-thermal model approach, has proven to be rather successful, despite the fact that the binding energies of these compound objects are…
This paper forms part of a long-term project to put field electron emission (FE) onto a better scientific basis, by seeking reliable quantitative agreement between theory and experiment, especially as regards emission-current values. The…
This compact review about gluonium focuses on a slate of theoretical efforts; among the many standing works, I have selected several that are meant to assist in the identification, among ordinary mesons, of the few Yang-Mills glueball…
High energy gamma-ray astronomy has recently made significant progresss through ground-based instruments like the {\it H.E.S.S.} array of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. The unprecedented angular resolution and the large field of…
The latest results from the ep HERA collider both within the Standard (electroweak) Model and beyond are reviewed. Most of the results are based on the full HERA data sample, which corresponds to an integrated luminosity of about 0.5 fb-1…
We present a search for excited neutrinos and electrons using all data collected by the H1 experiment at HERA at a center-of-mass energy of 320 GeV with an integrated luminosity of up to 435 pb$^{-1}$. No evidence for excited neutrino or…
A recent analysis of pion photo-production multipoles using p(g,pi0) data from Mainz is repeated, successively adding constraints from other observables and varying the number of fitted partial waves. The original analysis is shown to have…
Diffraction studies at HERA are introduced, with reference to other communications to this Conference. Motivations and specific features of the experimental approaches are stressed.
The recent years witnessed a dramatic improvement in our knowledge of the phenomenology and physics of Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs). However, our "pillars of knowledge" remain a few, while many aspects remain obscure and not understood. There is…
Recent results from the HERMES experiment at HERA are described. The large data set from Run-I has yielded new information on the helicity structure of the nucleon. The data to be taken in Run-II will deal mainly with the transverse spin…
Presently, gamma-ray tracking in germanium segmented detectors is realised by applying two advanced, complex algorithms. While they have already triggered an intensive R&D, they are still subject to further improvements. Making such…
Highlights selected from recent measurements of colour-singlet exchange processes at HERA are summarised. Particular emphasis is placed on energy and momentum transfer dependences and the decomposition of the data into an expansion in Regge…
It is now well established that laser plasma acceleration (LPA) is an innovative and good candidate in the beam acceleration field. Relativistic beams are indeed produced up to several GeV but their quality remains to be demonstrated in the…
