Theoretical methods for non-linear cosmology TH institute

3 Sept 2012, 08:00 → 7 Sept 2012, 18:00 Europe/Zurich

CERN

The program will focus on nonlinear methods in cosmic microwave background and large scale structure, with an emphasis on perturbation theory and numerical simulations.
The workshop will be very informal, with a few talks and lots of time for discussion every day. The number of participants will be restricted to approximately 30 participants to ensure a convivial atmosphere suitable for discussions.

Organizers: V. Desjacques, J. Lesgourgues, A. Riotto
