This workshop examines how the new region of particle beam parameters can be explored and used to find new physics and new applications.
The main topics discussed are beam-beam effects in linear and circular colliders, interaction of beam with very large electromagnetic fields and the associated nonlinear effects, gravitational effects from particles and photon beams. The above covers topics having immediate applications and theoretical problems.
