How are particles produced in the early universe, and what can we learn from the many signatures they leave behind?
This workshop will focus on this question, and it will bring together experts on this topic with a multidisciplinary point of view, from theoretical cosmology, particle physics, phenomenology, observational and experimental probes, nonlinear dynamics, and lattice simulations.
Topics include:
- Inflation
- Baryogenesis
- Dark matter
- Primordial black holes
- Numerical techniques & simulations
- Gravitational waves
- Neutrinos
- Primordial magnetic fields
- Multi-messenger probes
This conference week is part of a broader 4-week event (link), but during this week, rather than focusing on a single topic, it is designed to bring all of these different approaches into direct conversation, with talks and panel discussions organized around the field's central open questions.
The aim is to take stock of recent progress across these different approaches, strengthen connections between communities that don't often share a room, and help identify future promising directions.
A preliminary list of confirmed speakers includes:
Ana Achucarro (Leiden University)
Mustafa Amin (Rice University)
Asimina Arvanitaki (Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics)
Ema Dimastrogiovanni (University of Groningen)
Elisa Ferreira (IPMU, University of Tokyo)
Edward Kolb (University of Chicago)
David Marsh (Stockholm University)
Azadeh Moradinezhad (Laboratoire d'Annecy-le-Vieux de Physique Théorique)
Andrii Neronov (APC Paris)
Enrico Pajer (University of Cambridge)
