    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 has been presented to the scientific community at a workshop organised by the FPR-AT in January 2010. These web pages host all details about the workshop:

    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;
       
    • The fundamental physics of dark energy and dark matter;
       
    • Space-based efforts in astroparticles: high energy cosmic particles, antimatter, etc.
