COSMOASTRO15
Discussion Meeting on Cosmology and Astro-Particle Physics
COSMOASTRO15
Precision CMBR data for temperature fluctuations as well as polarization has driven tremendous amount of research in the frontier area of cosmology and astro-particle physics. The area being highly interdisciplinary, it provides a meeting ground for people working in diverse areas such as nuclear physics, particle physics, generalrelativity, and quantum gravity.
The community working in this area in India is relatively small, and sparsely distributed. The purpose of this discussion meeting is to bring some of the practitioners of the field together,in an atmosphere which provides opportunity for intensive discussions. Such an atmosphere will be of tremendous benefit to students/ postdocs working in this area, and may also promote interchange of ideas between people working on different aspects of this general area.
