[en] The conference focused on new physics results, primarily from hadron and lepton colliders, as well as physics possibilities offered by the upcoming generation of accelerators. Results presented included evidence for the top quark and possible novel types of events from the CERN p anti-p collider and new, detailed results on the behavior of hadrons containing charm or bottom quarks, including more precise lifetime determinations. The Electro-Weak Theory continues to make impressively successful quantitative predictions in areas such as interference effects in e⁺e^- annihilation, while QCD continues to provide a semi-quantitative framework in many areas of hadron dynamics. Future physics possibilities were reviewed; the SLC and possibilities offered by a very large linear collider, electron-proton colliders and HERA were discussed. The proposed Superconducting Super Collider project and future programs in particle physics have been reviewed. Finally, a presentation of the ''state of the art'' in particle detection techniques is given. Twenty six papers have been analyzed and abstracted to be put into the base

[en] The BABAR and Belle collaborations have recently found evidence for mixing within the D meson system. We present some of the mixing search techniques used by BABAR and their status as of the beginning of the summer 2007. These have culminated in a measurement in the Kπ decay final state of the D that is inconsistent with the no-mixing hypothesis with a significance of 3.9 standard deviations

[en] Using some simple assumptions, a calculation is presented of the quark fragmentation functions seen in deep inelastic processes. The results provide evidence for the conjecture that both jets seen in high p(perpendicular) reactions at the ISR stem from similar parents. The calculated functions are in excellent agreement with the inclusive distributions seen in γp and anti γp scattering, and in particular explain the puzzling presence of leading π^-'s from the fragmentation of a leading up quark. The results are also in agreement with the charge ratios extracted from deep inelastic electron scattering. (Auth.)

[en] Drift chamber performance can be characterized by measurement precision for tracks, ability to separate nearby tracks, ease of pattern recognition, and dE/dx information provided. Aspects of each of these except for dE/dx which is extensively covered in other conference contributions are discussed. The choice of including dE/dx measurement will strongly influence the number of track samples desired, the choice of gas, gas gain, and gas pressure for the chamber

[en] Some brief comments are given on magnet design, detector design, and software. It is felt that, despite a relatively slow start of operation, the SFM is a very useful facility

[en] The authors survey latest results in several areas related to photon-photon scattering. These are high transverse momentum photon scattering and some new results in meson spectroscopy. The latter come mainly from decay of the J/ψ and benefit from comparisons with the latest meson two photon widths

[en] Data on jet fragmentation are compared from pp, pp-bar, e/sup +/e/sup -/, and μp reactions. Flavor correlations and particle ratios for quark jets are process independent and well described using phenomenological models. Initial information on gluon fragmentation from e/sup +/e/sup -/ and pp-bar reactions provide a consistent picture of gluon jets as softer than quark jets. At present energies, the mean multiplicity of a gluon jet is approximately 1.5 that of a quark jet. More detailed features of gluon jets will require further experimental information. The fragmentation functions seen in both pp and pp-bar reactions indicate that the gluon structure function in the proton is softer than indicated by present models

[en] The author will try to emphasize examples of the most important and unique physics topics for the τ-charm factory. The author will assume that a year of data-taking corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 10⁴⁰ cm^-2. Detailed analysis of the signal rates and backgrounds has been done using a detector approximately similar to the one worked out at the workshop. Effects of resolution and particle decays are usually included in the simulation. More subtle sources of systematics have not yet been fully studied
