Tau Physics 2006: Summary & Outlook

Abstract

A large amount of new results have been presented at TAU2006. The highlights of the workshop, the present status of a few selected topics on lepton physics (universality, QCD tests, V_{us} determination from tau decay, g-2, neutrino oscillations, lepton-flavour violation) and the prospects for future improvements are briefly summarized.

Conference Summary at the 9th International Workshop on Tau Lepton Physics (TAU06), 19-22 September 2006, Pisa (Italy)
