Description

Venue

Nordita, Stockholm, Sweden

Scope

This conference is part of the Nordita program Origin of Mass 2012. Please note that the conference registration is different than the application to the program.

The Mass 2012 Conference will take place during the 3rd week of the program, 11-17 June. The conference is the third in a series of meetings organized with the main aim of bringing together experts working at the frontier of research on the origin of bright and dark matter in particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology.

Historically the "Origin of Mass" conference series has been founded in 2010 by the Centre of excellence for Particle Physics Phenomenology, CP3-Origins in Odense Denmark. We are very happy to organize it in 2012 for the first time in Stockholm in collaboration with Nordita.

Previous conferences in this series can be found here: Mass 2010 and Mass 2011.
