The Theory Meeting will be held at Institute for Cosmic Ray Research, Kashiwa Campus of the University of Tokyo, Dec. 8-9, 2008. The topic of this meeting is early universe and physics beyond the standard model.

LHC experiments which can recreate conditions similar to those at very early universe was started. Moreover, measurements of cosmic microwave background anisotropy and dark matter detection experiments also play a significant role in understanding of the early Universe. It is important to study the mechanism of electroweak symmetry breaking and early universe both in particle physics and cosmological aspects. We aim to discuss recent developments and future prospects with particle physicist and cosmologist.

We have arranged invited review talks below. We welcome applications for 20 min. - 30 min. talks by the participants. All the talks will be given in English.

The workshop program is available here.
