GA.00001: Gravitational Wave Detection in Space: The LISA Mission Invited Speaker: Gravitational wave sources are expected to be plentiful in the 0.1 to 0.001 Hz region of the spectrum, but ground motion makes it impractical to build a good detector on Earth. The Laser Interferometric Space Antenna (LISA) Mission is a joint NASA/ESA project to develop a sensitive space-based gravitational wave detector that will complement the existing ground-based detectors of the Laser Interferometric Gravitational Wave Observatory (LIGO). This talk will review some of the expected sources of gravitational waves and general detection principles and then focus on some of the unique challenges for a space-based antenna.

GA.00002: Ongoing CMB Experiments and Prospects for the Future Invited Speaker: There continue to be a constant stream of new and interesting cosmic microwave background (CMB) measurements - even in the wake of WMAP's amazing results of 2003. These measurements are reviewed here with a particular focus on CMB polarization measurements and their prospects for the future. [Preview Abstract] |

GA.00003: Searches for Cold Relics of the Early Universe Invited Speaker: Up to 90\% of matter in the Universe could be composed of heavy particles, which were non-relativistic, or 'cold', when they froze-out from the primordial soup. I will review current searches for these hypothetical particles, both via elastic scattering from nuclei in deep underground detectors, and via the observation of their annihilation products in the Sun, galactic halo and galactic center. The emphasis will be on most recent results, and on comparison with reaches of future particle colliders, such as the LHC and ILC. [Preview Abstract] |
