Workshop "The Early Universe: A Window to New Physics"
Through October 22, 2023 University of Florida
The workshop “The Early Universe: A Window to New Physics” will be held October 20th - 22nd, 2023, at the University of Florida, supported by the Institute for Fundamental Theory, the Institute for High Energy Physics and Astrophysics, and the Department of Physics in the University of Florida, and the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics in the University of Chicago. The workshop will primarily focus on such topics as cosmic inflation, gravitational particle production, cosmic strings and domain walls in the early Universe. We would like to encourage you to register and submit an abstract for your talk. We look forward to seeing you this October!
