Implications of the Early LHC for Cosmology

18 Apr 2012, 09:00 → 20 Apr 2012, 18:00 Europe/Berlin

Seminar Room 2, Building 2a (DESY)

The aim of this workshop is to discuss the consequences of the early results obtained from LHC measurements for cosmology. The main topics covered are

• The Higgs Sector
• Status of Supersymmetry
• Inflation
• Cosmological Phase Transitions
• Primordial Gravitational Waves

Invited speakers are
