From Inflation to Dark Energy: Where Astrophysics Meets Particle Physics
Panasonic hall
YITP
The universe is believed to have evolved through a sequence of stages: beginning with inflation, followed by radiation domination, matter (dark matter) domination, and finally the present era of dark energy domination. Realizing and understanding this history requires a particle-physics-level theoretical framework, which remains far from fully elucidated.
This workshop aims to promote the exchange of the latest results and the sharing of new ideas in the interdisciplinary field bridging astronomy and particle physics. In particular, we will engage in top-level discussions on the progress expected in each field in the coming years and on how such advances may lead to further developments in this integrated area of research.
