It intends to devote this international meeting to reviewing recent understanding of underlying physics of the early Universe.
In a pioneering way, this international conference combines both high-energy physics, especially in LHC era, and cosmology. The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) is a gigantic scientific instrument that is the world's largest and most powerful particle accelerator ever made. It spans the border between Switzerland and France about 100m underground. It is to study the smallest known particles – the fundamental building blocks of all things. The beams inside the LHC are made to collide at four locations where ATLAS, CMS, ALICE and LHCb are installed. Surely, LHC will revolutionise our understanding, from the minuscule world deep within atoms to the vastness of the Universe. Based on RHIC and currently LHC results, the early Universe would have behaved like a super-hot liquid immediately after the Big Bang. Concretely, the quark-gluon plasma created in these experiments does not form a gas as predicted, but instead suggest that the very early Universe behaved like a hot and might be viscous liquid. Implementing these results on characterizing the matter filling the background geometry would drastically change the traditional picture about the early Universe, references.

In order to enable an iCal export link, your account needs to have an API key created. This key enables other applications to access data from within Indico even when you are neither using nor logged into the Indico system yourself with the link provided. Once created, you can manage your key at any time by going to 'My Profile' and looking under the tab entitled 'HTTP API'. Further information about HTTP API keys can be found in the Indico documentation.
Additionally to having an API key associated with your account, exporting private event information requires the usage of a persistent signature. This enables API URLs which do not expire after a few minutes so while the setting is active, anyone in possession of the link provided can access the information. Due to this, it is extremely important that you keep these links private and for your use only. If you think someone else may have acquired access to a link using this key in the future, you must immediately create a new key pair on the 'My Profile' page under the 'HTTP API' and update the iCalendar links afterwards.
