Description

UPDATE (31 Oct 2022): Talk recordings can be found in this YouTube playlist.

We aim to bring together experts in particle physics and cosmology working on BSM physics.​ We plan to discuss all aspects of ​BSM physics and cosmology​, including in particular the ​hierarchy problem and ​electroweak symmetry breaking​, gravitational waves,​ ​dark matter,​ ​inflation and reheating,​ ​the cosmological constant​ and ​axions.​

Goals for the program are:
1. Achieving a better understanding of how cosmology can inform research on BSM.
2. The establishment of new collaborations among key experts on BSM and cosmology.
3. Determining which probes of BSM physics are most promising for the next couple of decades.

We will schedule one or two talks per day (in the mornings), leaving plenty of time for discussions. All participants will be given office space.

We had planned this event for April-May 2020, but it had to be postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The old webpage is here.

Organizers: Guillermo Ballesteros (UAM and IFT UAM-CSIC), Csaba Csáki (Cornell), Javi Serra (TUM) and Géraldine Servant (DESY and U. Hamburg).
