Description
The main focus of the workshop is on aspects of string theory in relation to particle physics and cosmology. It is a satellite meeting of the Strings 2004 conference in Paris, with a somewhat complementary program.

In particular, we will have review talks on the following topics:



– Physics beyond the Standard Model at the LHC (F. Gianotti)

– Approaches to the hierarchy problem (N. Arkani-Hamed)

– Cosmology: observations and theoretical ideas (A. Linde)

– Matrices, strings and gauge theories (H. Ooguri)

– Perspectives in string theory (J. Maldacena)

and a colloquium by D. Gross.



In addition, there will be various short technical talks and three organized discussion sessions (led by H. Verlinde, A. Strominger and D. Gross). After the workshop, there will be some two weeks of less formally organized activities, with typically two talks per day only. A preliminary program will appear soon on our site.
