Gravitation, Experiment and Cosmology *

Summary: Gravitation and Cosmology

The XXVI Encontro Nacional de Fı́sica de Partı́culas e Campos (ENFPC: Brazilian National Meeting on Particles and Fields) took place in São Lourenço, MG, Brazil, in October 2005. I was invited to deliver the summary talk on the area of gravitation and cosmology, in which I took the opportunity to briefly present a historic sketch of the ideas related to relativity, gravitation and cosmology in ge...

ar X iv : h ep - p h / 04 08 16 5 v 1 16 A ug 2 00 4 Lectures on Astroparticle

These are extended notes of a series of lectures given at the XIth Brazilian School of Cosmology and Gravitation. They provide a selection of topics at the intersection of particle and astrophysics. The first part gives a short introduction to the theory of electroweak interactions, with specific emphasize on neutrinos. In the second part we apply this framework to selected topics in astrophysi...

Brane-Worlds and Cosmology

The Friedmann equation for a FRW-brane-world in a flat bulk is derived and applied to the accelerated expansion of the universe. 1 Brane-Worlds It has been recently noted that the predicted scale of 10 TeV for quantum gravity is only a conjecture without experimental support, and that the only experimentally verified scale of gauge interactions in four dimensions lies within the TeV scale.
