<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">Over the past few decades, cosmology, astronomy and particle
physics have developed in different directions and at the same time become
intertwined in an increasingly complex way, i.e., in terms of communities, theories,
models, experiments, constraints, conferences and journals. Prime examples at
the intersection of two or all three of these fields are the search for dark
matter, cosmic rays, and neutrino physics. In recent years, various
humanities—in particular the trio of history, philosophy & sociology
(HPS)—have paid increasing attention to cosmology, astronomy and particle
physics (CAP). It is the aim of this HPS-CAP conference to explore the history,
philosophy and sociology of the intersection of CAP, as well as the
interactions between history, philosophy & sociology of CAP. Research
topics include but are not limited to the following:</p>
