The proceedings of the 6th Conference on Intersections Between Particle and Nuclear Physics contain papers from astrophysicists and nuclear and particle physicists from 21 countries. The topics discussed cover many subjects, from relativistic heavy ion physics and high-energy tests of QCD, which require the highest energy range extended from physics with ultracold neutrons, involving kinetic energies below 1-6 eV to cosmic ray physics, studying primaries at an energy of 1020 eV. There are many connections between topics, such as the role of strange quarks in neutron stars or as possible signal of a quark-gluon plasma. There are new results including neutrino physics from Super-Kamiokande and evidence for a glueball mixed into the scalar mesons. There are also reviews of topics such as CP violation, lepton-flavor violation, and charm physics.
