Cosmology & the Linear Collider

We are a working group of the American Linear Collider Physics Group (ALCPG)

1. To formally create a working group on linear collider connections to cosmology and astrophysics within the ALCPG working group structure.
2. To determine all the potential connections, and to prioritize them to later focus effort.
3. To produce a report on these connections by September 2004.

Editorial Committee:

Jonathan Feng (UC Irvine) Co-Chair
Mark Trodden (Syracuse) Co-Chair
Marco Battaglia (UC Berkeley)
Norman Graf (SLAC)
Michael Peskin (SLAC)

Please download a copy of our questionnaire, fill it out and mail it to us if you would like to join the larger team exploring connections between the linear collider and cosmology.

Events:

• We held cosmology parallel sessions at the Victoria Linear Collider Workshop, take a look at our schedule.
• There were cosmology talks as part of a number of other parallel sessions at the International Conference on Linear Colliders (LCWS2004) in Paris.
• We held our first group parallel sessions at the January Linear Collider meeting at SLAC. Take a look at our schedule.
• We took part in a webcast on November 6.

• Talks on the connections between cosmology and the linear collider
• Some relevant papers
