Description

The goal of the workshop is to gather together astrophysicists, cosmologists and particle physicists to discuss the current theoretical status of four leading, competing structure formation scenarios, and the possibilities to constrain these models with observations: i) CDM, ii) models with a primordial power spectrum cutoff (WDM and interacting DM); iii) SIDM and iv) fuzzy DM.

This workshop is part of a project that has received funding from the Icelandic Research Fund (Grant Number 173929)
