Since the 1980s the cross-disciplinary, multidimensional field of links between cosmology and particle physics has been widely recognised by theorists, studying cosmology, particle and nuclear physics, gravity, as well as by astrophysicists, astronomers, space physicists, experimental particle and nuclear physicists, mathematicians and engineers.The relationship between cosmology and particle physics is now one of the important topics of discussion at any scientific meeting both on astrophysics and high energy physics.Cosmoparticle physics is the result of the mutual relationship between cosmology and particle physics in their search for physical mechanisms of inflation, baryosynthesis, nonbaryonic dark matter, and for fundamental unity of the natural forces underlying them. The set of nontrivial links between cosmological consequences of particle models and the astrophysical data on matter and radiation in the modern universe maintains cosmoarcheology, testing self-consistently particular predictions of particle models on the base of cosmological scenarios, following from them. Complex analysis of all the indirect cosmological, astrophysical and microphysical phenomena makes cosmoparticle physics the science of the world and renders quantitatively definite the correspondence between its micro- and macroscopic structure.This book outlines the principal ideas of the modern particle theory and cosmology, their mutual relationship and the nontrivial correspondence of their physical and astrophysical effects.

The first edition of Cosmoparticle Physics was published in 1999 and the successive development of cosmology and particle physics have proved the basic principles of cosmoparticle physics as the specific field, studying fundamental relationship of cosmology and particle physics.The second edition updates and extends the text to discuss about the latest developments, including the development of precision cosmology that lead to now standard ΛCDM cosmological scenario, creation of gravitational wave astronomy, controversial results of direct and indirect dark matter searches, as well as absence of positive results of searches for supersymmetric particles at the LHC together with problems of Weakly Interacting Massive Particle paradigm.
