Santa Fe 2008 Cosmology Workshop
These workshops have been held for three weeks every year on the campus of St. John's College since 1999. They aim to cover the fast-progressing and expanding field of cosmology, addressing needs such as nucleating new collaborations, introducing new areas to experts in other fields, and giving graduate students and post-docs opportunities to learn from and interact with senior researchers over an extended period of time. The workshop is the only annual meeting of this kind in the US and continues to gain in popularity every year.

The Santa Fe topical workshop for 2008 will concentrate on recent developments in cosmology, especially those related to current and expected observational advances, including the cosmic microwave background, large-scale structure, galaxies and clusters, and dark matter and energy/early universe. The format will emphasize discussion with some formal pedagogical review and related talks as appropriate. Generally speaking we would like to reserve the largest fraction of the day for discussion and informal meeting. To encourage this informality and discussion, attendance will be limited to about 80 participants.
The workshop will be held at St. John's College, a pleasant and prestigious campus situated in the hills east of downtown Santa Fe. (For help with St. John's information regarding this meeting go to the St. John's Conference Services webpage.) This meeting is part of a continuing series of workshops on cosmology co-organized by the Theoretical Division and ISR Division of Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Theoretical Astrophysics Group at Fermilab. The main sponsors of the 2008 meeting are the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics at Los Alamos National Laboratory, the Kavli Institute for Cosmological Physics at the University of Chicago, and the LANL Institute for Advanced Studies. We also acknowledge support from the Theoretical Division at Los Alamos National Laboratory.
