Foreword
The Seventh International
Workshop on Tau Lepton Physics was held on the University of
California Santa Cruz campus in Santa Cruz, California, from September
10 to 13, 2002. The previous meetings in this series of workshops
devoted to Tau lepton and associated neutrino physics were held in
Orsay (France, 1990), Columbus (USA, 1992), Montreux (Switzerland,
1994), Estes Park (USA, 1996), Santander (Spain, 1998) and Victoria
(Canada, 2000).
New Tau results from high energy machines, low energy machines and
b-factories were presented as well as recent results from g-2 and
neutrino oscillation experiments. In addition, there were a number of
review talks with analysis of future prospects for the field.
We wish to thank all who contributed to the success of the
workshop. The advice of the international advisory committee was very
useful in defining the scientific program. The session chairs
contributed greatly to the smooth operation of the meeting. The
speakers did an excellent job of presenting current material. The
Technical Publications group at SLAC was invaluable for their Web and
poster support as well as the processing of the submitted papers.
We are also indebted to the generous financial support from the
U.S. Department of Energy, the U.S. National Science Foundation and
the University of California Santa Cruz campus.
Finally we would like to thank Georgia Hamel, Edward Hawkins and
Emily Williams whose work and dedication made the conference a
success.
