BEYOND 2010 — 5th International Conference on Beyond the Standard Models of Particle Physics, Cosmology and Astrophysics

BEYOND 2010 — 5th International Conference on Beyond the Standard Models of Particle Physics, Cosmology and Astrophysics


01 Feb 2010 → 06 Feb 2010; Cape Town, South Africa
topics: SUSY/SUGRA phenomenology, g-2 status. Search for Higgs and SUSY particles at colliders and underground laboratories. Search for proton decay, magnetic monopoles and antimatter. Status and explanations of the PAMELA/ATIC anomaly. Phenomenology of superstrings and Planck scale physics. Inflationary and quantum cosmology. Leptogenesis and baryogenesis. Baryonic matter at high and low densities and temperatures, Quark-gluon and chiral restoration phase transitions. Phase transitions in neutron stars. Cosmological parameters from nucleosynthesis, CMB, Lya forest, large-scale structure and distant supernovae Ia. Dark energy, baryonic and dark matter in galaxies, clusters of galaxies, filaments and voids. Variability of the fundamental constants in observations and theory. Neutrino masses and mixing parameters from solar, atmospheric, supernova, reactor and accelerator neutrinos. Neutrino data expected from a future supernova at 10 kpc distance. Status of double ß-decay. Relic neutrinos from ancient supernovae and big bang. Seesaw mechanism and the ?MSM. Search for sterile neutrino decays in the X-ray background and galaxies, and in hadronic decay modes at accelerators. Sterile neutrinos and pulsar kicks. The mystery of the earliest quasars and the formation of supermassive black holes from baryonic and dark matter. Helioseismology and dark matter in the sun. Supernovae Ic, coalescing neutron stars/black holes and gamma-ray bursts. High-energy cosmic rays and GZK effect. Synthesis of heavy and superheavy elements in supernovae and in the laboratory. Fundamental symmetries and their violations CP, T and CPT violations predicted and observed in the lepton and quark sectors. Lorentz invariance and equivalence principle. Tests of General Relativity: binary pulsars/black holes and gravitational waves.
