Particle Astrophysics from the Particle Perspective

Abstract

In this talk I discuss several topics at the interface of particle physics and astrophysics/cosmology. These include the problem of dark matter and two popular dark matter candidates: axions and neutralinos. I also discuss briefly some recent developments in electroweak baryogenesis, as well as a variety of somewhat more exotic topics: the fate of domain walls, axinos, non-vanishing cosmological constant, and cosmological constraints on models with dynamical supersymmetry breaking. Most of the material is review, however a few of the remarks, especially regarding axion cosmology in the framework of supersymmetry, I believe to be original.
