Fundamental Physics Roadmap Workshop

Introduction

The Fundamental Physics Roadmap Advisory Team, FPR-AT, has been assembled by ESA in order to draw a recommendation on the scientific and technological roadmap necessary to lead Europe toward the realization of future space missions in the framework of the Cosmic Vision 2015-2025 plan in the field of fundamental physics.

The FPR-AT is preparing a roadmap document based on White Papers submitted to ESA by the scientific community.

The draft roadmap document will be presented to the scientific community at a workshop organised by the FPR-AT. Further details about the workshop will be posted at this website.

Registration opens 29 September 2009
Workshop 21-22 January 2010

The following scientific domains will be covered at the workshop:
  • Tests of fundamental laws and principles, e.g. equivalence principle, constancy of fundamental constants, inverse square gravitational law;
  • Detection and study of gravitational waves;
  • Quantum mechanics in a clean environment;
  • Cold atom physics, new frequency standards, and quantum technologies;
