Cosmology
by V. A. Rubakov
Publisher: arXiv.org 2018
Number of pages: 56
Description:
Cosmology and particle physics are deeply interrelated. Among the common problems are dark energy, dark matter and baryon asymmetry of the Universe. We discuss these problems in general terms, and concentrate on several particular hypotheses.
