The goal of the Daniel Chalonge School on Astrofundamental Physics
is to contribute to a theory of the universe (and particularly of
the early universe) up to the marks, and at the scientific height
of, the unprecedented accuracy, existent and expected, in the
observational data. The impressive development of modern cosmology
during the last decades is to a large extent due to its unification
with elementary particle physics and quantum field theory. The
cross-section between these fields has been increasing setting up
Astrofundamental Physics. The early universe is an exceptional
(theoretical and experimental) laboratory in this new discipline.
This NATO Advanced Study Institute provided an up dated
understanding, from a fundamental physics and deep point of view,
of the progress and key issues in the early universe and the cosmic
microwave background: theory and observations. The genuine
interplay with large scale structure formation and dark matter
problem were discussed. The central focus was placed on the cosmic
microwave background. Emphasis was given to the precise
inter-relation between fundamental physics and cosmology in these
problems, both at the theoretical and experimental/observational
levels, within a deep and well defined programme which provided in
addition, a careful interdisciplinarity. Special sessions were
devoted to high energy cosmic rays, neutrinos in astrophysics, and
high energy astrophysics. Deep understanding, clarification,
synthesis, careful interdisciplinarity within a fundamental physics
framework, were the main goals of the course.
A fundamental, profound review of the key issues relating to the
early universe and the physical processes that occurred in it. The
interplay between cosmic microwave background radiation, large
scale structure, and the dark matter problem are stressed, with a
central focus on the crucial issue of the phase transitions in the
early universe and their observable consequences: baryon symmetry,
baryogenesis and cosmological fluctuations. There is an interplay
between cosmology, statistical physics and particle physics in
studying these problems, both at the theoretical and the
experimental / observational levels. Special contributions are
devoted to primordial and astrophysical black holes and to high
energy cosmic rays and neutrino astrophysics. There is also a
special section devoted to the International Space Station and its
scientific utilization.

Lectures were devoted to neutrinos in astrophysics and high energy
astrophysics. In addition, each Course of this series, introduced
and promoted topics or subjects, which, although not being of
purely astrophysical or cosmological nature, were of relevant
physical interest for astrophysics and cosmology. Deep

interdisciplinarity within a fundamental physics framework, werethe
maingoals ofthe course. Lectures ranged from a motivation and
pedagogical introduction for students and participants not directly
working in the field to the latest developmentsand most recent
results. All Lectures were plenary, had the same duration and were
followed by a discussion. The Course brought together
experimentalists and theoretical physicists, astrophysicists and
astronomers from a variety of backgrounds, including young
scientists at post-doctoral level, senior scientists and advanced

An up-to-date presentation of the progress and current problems in
the early universe, cosmic microwave background radiation, large
scale structure formation, and the interplay between them. The
emphasis is on the mutual impact of fundamental physics and
cosmology, both at theoretical and experimental (observational)
levels within a deep, well- focused and well-defined programme. The
nature of the domain itself leads to different aspects, approaches
and points of view on the same topic. Special care has been taken
to provide the reader the basis of the different, sometimes
competing lines of research. All contributions are uniformly
excellent, with a careful selection of the subjects and approaches
covered, presenting a unifying and rigorous view of the field.
Audience: experimentalists and theoreticians from a variety of
backgrounds: physics, astrophysics and astronomy. An excellent
reference for post-doctoral scientists. Useful for senior
scientists and advanced graduate students.

The contemporary trends in the quantum unification of all
interactions including gravity motivate this Course. The main goal
and impact of modern string theory is to provide a consistent
quantum theory of gravity. This, Course is intended to provide an
updated understanding of the last developments and current problems
of string theory in connection with gravity and the physics at the
Planck energy scale. It is also the aim of this Course to discuss
fundamental problems of quantum gravity in the present-day context
irrespective of strings or any other models. Emphasis is given to
the mutual impact of string theory, gravity and cosmology, within a
deep a well defined programme, which provides, in addition, a
careful interdisciplinarity. Since the most relevant new physics
provided by strings concerns the quantization of gravity, we must,
at least, understand string quantization in curved space-times to
start. Curved space-times, besides their evident relevance m
classical gravitation, are also important at energies of the order
of the Planck scale. At the Planck energy, gravitational
interactions are at least as important as the rest and can not be
neglected anymore. Special care is taken here to provide the
grounds of the different lines of research in competition (not just
only one approach); this provides an excellent opportunity to learn
about the real state of the discipline, and to learn it in a
critical way.
