Cosmology Lab
Machine-translated · View original
The lab theoretically explores the fusion of cosmology and particle physics.

AboutAbout the lab
Theory linking the universe and particle physics
The Cosmology Lab belongs to the Fundamental Theory Division of the Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the Universe, and pursues research that merges cosmological theory and particle theory.
Its research topics include dark matter, dark energy, the origin of the baryon number of the universe, Big Bang nucleosynthesis, and inflation models.
The lab advances this research with the participation of researchers in cosmological theory.
It works closely with the Particle Theory Lab, the String Theory and Mathematical Structure Lab, and the Theoretical Computational Physics Office in the same division.
Key terms
- Dark matter
- Invisible matter thought to exist in the universe
- Big Bang nucleosynthesis
- The process by which light elements formed during the hot early period at the beginning of the universe
- Inflation models
- Models that try to explain, through theory, the rapid expansion thought to have occurred at the beginning of the universe
ResearchResearch themes
The Cosmology Lab pursues research that connects the theory of the universe with the theory of elementary particles. It addresses problems such as dark matter and dark energy that concern both the universe and elementary particles.
