CA.00001: Dark Energy - A Pedagogic Review Invited Speaker: In an introductory manner, the nature of dark energy is addressed, how it is observed and what further tests are needed to reconstruct its properties. Several theoretical approaches to dark energy will be discussed. [Preview Abstract] |

CA.00002: Dark Matter: Theory Overview Invited Speaker: A plethora of data from a variety of sources shows that cold dark matter (CDM) must exist in the universe. CDM cannot be accommodated in the Standard Model of particle physics. I review a variety of theoretical candidates for CDM, and discuss prospects for their detection. I focus additional attention on the case of the lightest neutralino in supersymmetric models of particle physics, and prospects for direct, indirect and collider detection of neutralino dark matter.

CA.00003: Dark Matter Searches in the 21'st Century Invited Speaker: It is now well established and accepted that the universe has a total density equal to the critical density (Omega = 1) and that roughly 25\% of that density is accounted for by non-relativistic particles. That these particles, referred to as Dark Matter and which are more than 5 times as prevalent as baryons (by mass), have remained a mystery has served to motivate physicists to design more and more ingenious and far reaching experiments in an attempt to identify and understand these elusive particles. This talk will review the various ongoing Dark Matter searches, with emphasis on the direct detection experiments, and report on their current status. [Preview Abstract] |
