The observation of cosmological and astrophysical phenomena is one of the most promising ways to understand the fundamental laws of nature. In this course we will show the deep connection between particle physics and cosmology, discussing phenomena (dark matter, neutrinos, strong CP problem and matter/antimatter asymmetry) in which the interplay is particularly intriguing. It will be ministrated in English. More in detail, the syllabus of the lectures is as follows:
SYLLABUS:
Preliminaries: review of the Standard Model of Particle Physics and of the Standard Cosmological Model;
Cosmic Rays
Neutrinos
Dark Matter
Matter/Anti-Matter Asymmetry
