Workshop on Astrophysics of Dark Matter

→ Asia/Tokyo
Description

Identification of cosmological dark matter is one of the most exciting challenges in science.  
The workshop will bring together observers and theorists and will focus on astrophysical probes that can elucidate the nature of dark matter.
We will hold a reception on Wednesday, October 14, at 18:00.  Those wishing to attend the reception will be asked to contribute 3500 yen per person.


Invited speakers:
Boylan-Kolchin, Michael (U. of Maryland)
Camera, Stefano (U. of Manchester)
Kaplinghat, Manoj (UCI)
Massey, Richard (Durham University)
Naoz, Smadar (UCLA)
Nierenberg, Anna (Ohio state University)
Pollack, Jason (Caltech)
Vegetti, Simona (MPA, Garching)
Viel, Matteo(INAF - Astronomical Observatory, Trieste, Italy)
