SPEAKERS INCLUDE:

Cosmic inflation and the initial conditions for the hot big bang

David Mulryne, Royal Society University Research Fellow, Queen Mary University of London

In this talk, David will discuss cosmic inflation, the evidence for it, and touch on some of the unanswered questions in the field of very early universe cosmology.

The Dark Sector: Observational Evidence for Dark Matter and Dark Energy

Kathy Romer, Professor of Astrophysics, University of Sussex

Hear the latest evidence for and against dark matter and dark energy, the prevailing theories, and a prediction of when science will finally throw light on the dark sector.

A journey through the Universe surfing the waves of space-time

Alberto Vecchio, Professor of Astrophysics, University of Birmingham

A new era of explorations of the cosmos and of some of its most violent phenomena has just begun with the observation of gravitational waves.\xa0Alberto will talk about the beginning of this journey that will surely bring many surprises. One day, it may even give us direct view of the very infant universe as it emerged from the Big Bang.

Neutrinos and the Mystery of the Missing Antimatter

Susan Cartwright, Senior Lecturer in Particle Physics and Astrophysics, University of Sheffield

Our Universe is made of matter, yet when we create particles in accelerators, we always make them as particle-antiparticle pairs. So, what happened to the antimatter?\xa0 From the fact that photons vastly outnumber protons and electrons in the Universe, we know that most of it annihilated with matter - but why was there some matter left over, but no antimatter? Susan will share the answers to these fascinating questions and many more.
