Abstract
An introduction to key concepts on the interface of Particle Physics and Early Universe cosmology. Topics include inflation and inflationary models, the ElectroWeak phase transition and vacuum stability, matter-antimatter asymmetry, recombination and the Cosmic Microwave Background, relic abundances and primordial nucleosynthesis, baryogenesis, dark matter and more.
Objective
The objectives of this course is to understand the evolution of the Universe at its early stages, as described by the Standard Model of cosmology, and delve into the insights and constraints imposed by cosmological observations on possible new particles beyond those discovered at the LHC.
