Project overview
At present there is emerging a new, interdisciplinary field of research
which combines cosmology, astrophysics and particle physics. It has become
very clear that for understanding the challenging problems of cosmology -
such as the origin of baryon asymmetry of the Universe, the dark matter
and dark energy, the origin of large scale structures and the mechanism of
inflation - one needs theoretical concepts and theoretical tools of
particle physics which go beyond the Standard Model of elementary
interactions and that, on the other hand, the early Universe is an ideal
testing ground for new fundamental theories.
The Chair for Theory of
Particles and Elementary Interactions in the Institute of Theoretical
Physics, Warsaw University, plays the leading role at the national level
and is one of the highly recognized European groups in theoretical
particle physics with very strong expertise in the Standard Model and in
the physics beyond. The purpose of this transfer of knowledge project is
to extend the competence of the host to cosmology and astrophysics and, at
the same time, to share its expertise in particle physics with European
experts in cosmology and astrophysics. This project will allow for a full
integration of the Warsaw group and broader theoretical particle physics
community in Poland into the European research programme at the interface
of cosmology and particle physics.
The objectives of this project will be
implemented by:
1) a programme of short (2 - 3 months) visits to Warsaw
paid by experts in cosmology, astrophysics and particle cosmology,
including cosmological aspects of string theory,
2) recruitment to Warsaw
of 2 experienced postdocs for 2 years each for a long term collaboration
based on the complementary expertise,
3) secondments of the members of the
host group to the three European laboratories that play the leading role
in the European research programme in cosmology and astrophysics.
