This volume comprises selected lectures presented in the Ninth
Course of the International School ofCosmic-Ray Astrophysics held
at the Ettore Majorana Centre in Erice, Sicily, May 7-18,1994.
Director ofthe Centre is A. Zichichi, assisted by M. Zaini.
Director ofthe School is M. M. Shapiro. 1. P. Wefel was co-director
of the Ninth Course, which was also a NATO Advanced Study Institute
(ASI), and NATO support is gratefully acknowledged. Devoted to
problems and prospects in high-energy astrophysics and cosmology,
the major areas explored in this course were: gamma-ray, X-ray, and
neutrino astronomies; cosmic rays; pulsars and supernova remnants;
and cosmology, as well as cosmogony. Among the principal
developments in gamma-ray astrophysics were those generated by the
Compton Gamma Ray Observatory. Cosmic neutrinos at MeV energies,
i.e., those from the sun and from Supernova 1987a, were discussed,
as well as neutrino masses in astrophysics. The source composition
ofcosmic rays, and extensive air shower experiments, received
special attention. The early universe according to COBE data, and
as viewed by theorists ofcosmology, was reviewed. Finally, the
connections with particle physics occasioned a timely description
ofthe Standard Model ofelementary particles.
