Cosmology and high energy physics are two closely connected areas. In this lecture I present an example of their rich interplay.
In this talk I discuss the interplay between collider physics and four topics of astro-particle physics: neutrino oscillations, electroweak baryogenesis, LSP Dark Matter, and ultra-high energy cosmic rays (UHECR). Some astrophysical…
The physics prospects of the high energy Photon Linear Collider are reviewed, emphasizing its potential to study the symmetry breaking sector, including Higgs searches and precision anomalous W couplings measurements.
It is argued that the next linear colliders can serve as W factories that may be exploited for precision tests on the properties of the massive gauge bosons. The connection between the probing of the symmetry breaking sector and precise…
Cosmology can be viewed as geodesic motion in an appropriate metric on an `augmented' target space; here we obtain these geodesics from an effective relativistic particle action. As an application, we find some exact (flat and curved)…
