Baryogenesis and Quantum Field Dynamics

28 Aug 2012, 12:00 → 30 Aug 2012, 14:00 Europe/Copenhagen

Auditorium A (Niels Bohr International Academy and Discovery Center)

Anders Tranberg (NBIA), Mads Søgaard (Niels Bohr International Academy)

The workshop will bring together leading scientists within the field of Baryogenesis, Leptogenesis and quantum field theory out of equilibrium, with emphasis on the physics of the early Universe. Participation is by invitation only. The workshop follows up on similar workshops held in Nordita, Stockholm (2009), Aachen (2010), Leiden (2011).
The programme will start Tuesday 28 at 13.00 with an overview lecture by Prof. Mikko Laine for non-experts. A number of contributed talks will follow, and the workshop will end at 12.30 on Thursday 30.
