Executive Summary : | The field of observational cosmology has experienced significant development since the late 20th century, leading to the era of "Precision" cosmology. NAsA's COBE mission in 1992, followed by WMAP and Planck missions, and gravity wave detection experiments like LIGO, Virgo, and KAGRA, allowed for the testing of physics at scales impossible in terrestrial experiments. This led to the development of terms like "Cosmological Colliders." Particle physics has evolved from the Large Electron-positron Collider (LEP) to the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) and future colliders like the International Linear Collider (ILC) in the detection frontier. The discovery of the Higgs Boson at LHC is considered a significant achievement. Unanswered questions in modern theoretical physics are being explored by both communities, including the explanation of baryon asymmetry, the nature and dynamics of Dark Matter, and the observation of neutrino oscillation. Both communities attempt to solve these puzzles independently or jointly, but some missing links still exist. This proposal aims to build an interdisciplinary effort between cosmologists and high energy physicists to explore these topics and establish a connection between cosmological phenomena and their low energy imprints. The project aims to simultaneously develop theoretical advancements while focusing on the relevant puzzles of modern physics. |
