First Circular

The 3rd KMI International Symposium
on "Quest for the Origin of Particles and the Universe"
(KMI2017)

First Circular (2016/10/14)

The Kobayashi-Maskawa Institute for the Origin of Particles and the Universe (KMI) was established in 2010 to explore new frontiers of modern physics, which are beyond the Standard Model, by integrating the wisdom from various fields, such as theoretical and experimental particle physics, theoretical and observational astrophysics, mathematical physics, etc. The aim of this symposium is to review the status and prospect of the cutting-edge researches in relevant fields, and to develop the interdisciplinary researches to approach the origin of particles and the Universe. The highlight of KMI2017 is to bring the most recent results together, as well as to discuss the mysteries of Dark Universe, such as the dark matter problem.
