Higgs portal interactions can address two open problems in cosmology: dark matter and the baryon asymmetry. In anticipation of the 14 TeV phase of the LHC and the development of a future electron-positron collider, it is timely to delineate the most important scenarios, to identify their LHC and lepton collider signatures, and to determine the extent to which collider searches may probe Higgs portal scenarios in the cosmologically relevant regions of parameter space.

De Sitter and Anti-deSitter provide simple, yet rich, playgrounds for studying quantum gravity and quantum field theory. On the observational side, Planck has provided a data set with unprecedented accuracy concerning (what we believe to be) a primordial epoch of quasi-de Sitter expansion. The goal of the workshop will be to study what data can teach us about the fundamental properties of exact (anti) de Sitter spaces.

Joint ACFI-Jefferson Laboratory workshop, with support also provided by U.N.C.-Wilmington.
The workshop will explore new opportunities for probing physics beyond the Standard Model and testing chiral symmetry in hadronic process.
