Probing the early Universe with Gravity

23 nov. 2016, 14:00 → 25 nov. 2016, 13:30 Europe/Paris

360 (APC, Centre François Arago)

Mauro Pieroni (Université Paris Diderot - APC - PCCP), Pierre Binetruy (APC), Valerie Domcke (Université Paris Diderot - APC - PCCP)

The aim of the "Probing the early Universe with gravity" workshop is to bring together physicists that work on non-standard probes of the very early universe. The workshop will have sessions dedicated to Primordial Gravitational Waves, to Primordial Black holes and to the connections between cosmology and particle physics. A whole session is left to discussion. This workshop "Probing the early Universe with gravity" is organized by the Paris Center for Cosmological Physics. Since the number of participants is limited to 40 we encourage early registration.
