Nonlinear Cosmology: Turbulence and Fields | (smr 1654) (09-12 May 2005)

Administration

Description

 The Workshop is focused on the nonlinear phenomena on cosmological scales. Among others, the following problems will be discussed:

1. Early universe
2. Observations: CMB, gravity waves, neutrino ets.
3. Magnetic fields
4. Large-scale structures
5. Black holes and supernovae
6. Dark matter


The purpose of this Workshop is to bring together key specialists from different scientific communities, both from developed and developing countries, to discuss the new situation in cosmology related to the new observational results and possibilities.
