Chapter 1: Cosmology and Dark Matter at the LHC (521k)

This volume is the latest in a prominent biannual series of scientific meetings on the exciting research topics of dark matter and, more recently, of dark energy. It contains a state-of-the-art update on detection efforts by experimental groups around the world trying to pin down exotic new forms of matter under the names of axions, neutralinos, wimps, primordial black holes, q balls, sterile neutrinos, as well as a tantalizing new form of dark energy component called phantom energy and quintessence. The book is self-contained as it also includes general reviews on recent cosmological observations — supernovae measurements, cosmic matter distribution surveys and cosmic radiation anisotropies — introducing even the uninitiated reader to this fascinating frontier of research.


Contents:

  • Dark Matter
  • Cosmology and Large Scale Structure
  • Dark Energy
  • Underground Labs/New Facilities/Future Astroparticle Facilities


Readership: Researchers, advanced undergraduate and graduate students in astroparticle physics, particle physics, cosmology and astrophysics.
