Description

Over three days, we will provide a forum to enable future advances in both theoretical and experimental particle physics in understanding what lies beyond the Standard Model. The meeting will focus on model building, the baryon asymmetry of the Universe, dark matter, neutrinos, and cosmology/astroparticle physics.

This workshop is dedicated to Ann Nelson, who was a pioneer in many areas of theoretical particle physics and who steered the particle physics community in novel directions throughout her career.

 

We thank The Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the American Physical Society for their support through the Fundamental Physics Innovation Awards. We also thank the University of Washington and the Institute of Nuclear Theory for their support and hospitality.
