Fundamental Physics at the Crossroads
24 - 28 February 2020
Venue: Lorentz Center@Oort
If you are invited or already registered for this workshop, you have received login details by email.Particle physics at the crossroads: the Standard Model is extremely successful; however, we know that some new physics exists. Yet of today we have no confirmed prediction where and how to search for it. In such time, new ideas are needed. This workshop brings together experts in cosmology, Early Universe, particle physics theory and phenomenology to search for the way to go.
February 24
This is a basic program. The workshop is fully open to ideas and it is expected that more spontaneous talks shall emerge during the workshop discussions.
