Workshop
Astroparticle and Cosmology
Aug 28, 2006 - Nov 11, 2006
Abstract
"Astroparticle" is one of the fastest growing fields of modern physics. Current and forthcoming astroparticle experiments are expected to challenge some of the basic pillars of our current understanding of fundamental physics. The aim of the workshop is to gather together key worldwide researchers (theorists and observers) to collaborate on the main problems of cosmology and astroparticle physics, and at the same time, to offer a training opportunity for young researchers.
Topics
1. Models for the Early Universe
2. Dark Matter and Dark Energy
3. CMB, Large Scale Structure, Cosmological Parameters
Organizers
(C. Baccigalupi, K. Enqvist, E. Kolb, J. Lesgourgues)
During the workshop there will be a series of introductory lectures at the level of PhD students.
A very preliminary program is the following:
1) 6- 7 sep: Juan Garcia-Bellido "Preheating after Inflation"
2) 13-14 sep: Albert Stebbins " Large Scale Structure"
3) 20-21 sep: Ruth Durrer "Physics of the CMB"
4) 27-28 sep: Sabino Matarrese "Primordial non-gaussianity"
5) 4- 5 oct: Robert Caldwell "Dark energy and cosmological observations"
6) 11-12 oct: Christof Wetterich "Dark energy theory"
7) 18-19 oct: Gabriele Veneziano "String cosmology"
8) 1 nov: Martin White "Weak gravitational lensing"
9) 8- 9 nov: David Lyth "Inflation and particle physics"
