COSMIC WISPers (CA21106): Achievements and Future Perspectives

→ Europe/Rome
Alessandro Mirizzi (Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare)
Description

Axions and other very weakly interacting slim (m<GeV) particles (WISPs) are easily accommodated in several extensions of the Standard Model of Particle Physics. Searches for WISPs are strongly motivated by our attempts to understand the nature of the dark matter and puzzling astrophysical and particle physics observations. 

 The aim of the COST Action COSMIC WISPers (CA21106) is to coordinate and support WISPs searches in a synergic way at the boundary between particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology. 

The CA21106 Closing Meeting will be held online.  The objective of  the meeting is to discuss the achievements of the COST Action and propose new ideas and topics and  to discuss the further directions of investigations.
