Pedagogical and review lectures were presented by invited experts. As well, a topical workshop was held in conjunction with the Institute, with contributed presentations by some of the participants. The sessions were scheduled in the mornings and in the evenings leaving the afternoons free to enjoy the many aspects of this beautiful part of western Canada. The 2000 Lake Louise Winter Institute was devoted to particle physics and cosmology. By inviting speakers from these two fields of physics, we wished to create an atmosphere of discussion on the intersections of large scale (cosmo- logical) and small scale (particle) physics. Recent cosmological observations on the content of the universe as well as new experimental methods to detect grav itational waves were presented. A detailed discussion of connections between certain theoretical ideas and observable phenomena to the behavior of matter at ultra-high temperature and/or density was also clearly laid out. Several speakers were invited to present results from new experimental facilities and to discuss the physics potential of future subatomic experiments. We wish to express our most sincere gratitude to Lee Grimard for her efforts, organizational skills, and incredible patience (even in the most frus trating circumstances!) in bringing this Winter Institute to fruition, from the very first email to the publication of these proceedings. She was well aided by David Shaw and David Maybury in the logistics and transportation of the participants to the Institute. We are indebted to them. Finally, we wish to acknowledge the generous financial support of the Uni versity of Alberta, the Institute of Particle Physics, the Canadian Institute for Theoretical Astrophysics, and TRIUMF. organizing committee: A.
