What propels the dynamics of inflation? What is dark matter and how is it produced? What generates the baryon asymmetry? What is the mechanism behind the neutrino masses? Is the new physics solving these puzzles linked, and crucially, how could we experimentally test it?
In this two-week program, we will discuss the recent progress on these topics and investigate innovative methodologies that can shed light on the physics of the early Universe. Our focus is twofold: (1) identifying potential novel links of physics in the early Universe and their consequential experimental implications, and (2) exploring new strategies to detect or probe the underlying physics ranging from cosmic phenomena to laboratory experiments.
The workshop will bring together experts from various fields, including particle physics, astrophysics, cosmology, and fundamental theory, providing a unique platform to foster new, synergistic collaborations that will push the limits of our understanding of the early Universe.
Invited Key Speakers:
Andrew Long (Rice U.), Nicolas Bernal (NYU, Abu Dhabi), Joseph Pradler (U. of Vienna), Nicolao Fornengo (U. of Turin), Thomas Konstandin (DESY), Paquale Serpico (LAPTh), Valerie Domcke (CERN), Gordan Krnjaic (Fermilab), Diego Blas (IFAE, ICREA) and Maxim Pospelov (U. of Minnesota)
Registration will close on 11 June 2025.
