Predictions of Cold Dark Matter models on small scales:
current and future tests
|
|
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION
The goal of this workshop was to discuss the current status of
theoretical predictions and observational
tests of Cold Dark Matter (CDM) models on sub-galactic scales. The workshop
brought together about 40 international participants which included
particle theorists, observational astronomers, and cosmologists of
various kinds.
The format combined relatively short (25-30 min) talks
with breaks for informal discussion.
The list of the topics discussed includes
Structural propeties of dark matter halos
Dynamics of luminous and dark matter in galactic halos
Galaxy formation in CDM scenarios
Dynamics of bars in CDM halos
|
Observational constraints from galactic rotation curves
Observational signatures of dark matter
Constraints from strong and weak lensing
Direct DM detection experiments
|
The workshop took place at the University of Chicago campus in
the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago
and lasted three days, from the morning (9AM) of
Wednesday, July 31th 2002 till the evening of Friday (about 4PM), August 2nd.
