The purpose of this workshop is to discuss how gravitational waves may serve as tools to explore possible fundamental physics beyond the Standard Model, such as first order phase transitions in the early Universe, cosmic strings, primordial black holes and scenarios for cosmological inflation. In addition, it will explore how gravitational wave signals may reveal possible modifications of general relativity. With these aims in mind, the workshop will bring together experts in particle physics, cosmology and the gravitational wave community.
Time: 14 - 19 CET
Registration Deadline extended till July 12, 2021
Talks are by invitation only.
Besides the talks we plan to have 1-hour panel discussion session each day where we discuss the questions unanswered during the talks and some open questions in the topic.
