PLATEAU: Particle Legacies Accumulated Through the Early Anisotropic Universe

Europe/Rome
Francesco D'Eramo (University of Padua)
Description

The early Universe provides a unique laboratory to explore fundamental particle physics at energy scales far beyond the reach of terrestrial experiments. Particle legacies accumulated during the first moments of cosmic history — from dark matter and relic neutrinos to primordial gravitational waves and other cosmological imprints — preserve invaluable information about physics beyond the Standard Model.

PLATEAU — Particle Legacies Accumulated Through the Early Anisotropic Universe brings together particle physicists and cosmologists to investigate how these early-Universe imprints can be used as precision tests of fundamental physics. By treating the early Universe as a natural laboratory, the workshop aims to foster cross-disciplinary discussions on how cosmological observations and theoretical developments can illuminate the microscopic laws governing particles and interactions.
