Astroparticle physics - A Personal Outlook
John Ellis
Abstract
At the request of the organizers, this talk surveys some of the hot topics discussed at this meeting, giving my subjective views on them. Subjects covered include the present age and Hubble expansion rate of the Universe - inflation theorists need not yet abandon Ω= 1, theories of structure formation in the light of COBE and other data - my favourite is a flat spectrum of initial perturbations subsequently amplified by mixed hot and cold dark matter, neutrino masses and oscillations - the only experimental indication I take seriously at the moment is the persistent solar neutrino deficit, the lightest supersymmetric particle - which may behave differently if conventional assumptions are relaxed, and the axion - much of the window between limits from SN 1987a and cosmology will be explored in an ongoing experiment. Finally, I present a chronology of some possible interesting future experiments.
