Summary

This book contains the proceedings of the First International Symposium on Lepton & Baryon Number Violation held in April 1998. The conference brought together leading researchers from particle physics, astrophysics & cosmology to present reviews of current theoretical ideas & experimental results, & future perspectives in this topical field. The book covers topics related to baryon number (B) & lepton number (L) violation in particle physics, nuclear physics, rare decays & cosmology. The main topics include: B & L violation & grand unified theories; B & L violation in the early Universe, in cosmology & astrophysics; Lepton family number violation; B & L violation & collider physics.
