DESCRIPTION:The CAPP2003 workshop will bring to CERN the leading cosmologi
 sts and particle physicists working on observations and speculative theori
 es about the very early stages of the evolution of the Universe. During th
 e last few years\, this field has experienced a feverish activity and many
  new important discoveries\, such as the detection and later confirmation 
 of acoustic peaks in the CMB anisotropies\, which strongly indicate a part
 icle-physics explanation of cosmic perturbations\, in terms of an inflatio
 nary theory. Moreover\, the observation of an apparent acceleration of the
  Universe\, deduced from high-redshift supernovae\, suggests a non-zero co
 smological constant\, resurrecting one of the most puzzling problems in ph
 ysics. Very recent observations of large-scale structures\, together with 
 the CMB results\, are beginning to close in at a concrete Standard Cosmolo
 gical Model\, opening some new fundamental questions about the origin of t
 he Universe.\nDuring the week of the conference\, there will also be two p
 ublic talks in which some cosmologists will try to communicate the new exc
 iting  developments of the field to a broad audience. Hubert Reeves will t
 alk (in French) on Friday 13 June at Forum Meyrin about "Dernières nouvel
 les du Cosmos". James Peebles will give an evening lecture (in English)\, 
 on Saturday 14 June\, at Geneva University (Uni Dufour\, 12\, rue du Gén
 éral-Dufour\, 1204 Genève). \nThe programme of this workshop is the foll
 owing.Visit of some sites of CERN LHC experiments (CMS\, ATLAS)\, and poss
 ibly of the PSAD antimatter experiment.\n\nhttp://indico.cern.ch/conferenc
