Leon (2010). The workshop was associated with the KTIPC
program 'Dark matter and new physics', 21 September–6 November,
2011. The topics of the workshop include: dark matter candidates
and theory, direct, indirect and accelerator dark matter
searches, baryogenesis, new physics beyond the standard model,
the origin of dark energy, experimental aspects of dark energy,
nonstandard cosmology and astroparticle physics and Ultra hight
energy cosmic rays etc.
The workshop attracted more than 130 participants from more than ten countries
and regions. The talks presented at the workshop can be downloaded from the websitehttp://kitpc.itp.ac.cn/dsu2011.
