The 21-cm line from neutral hydrogen (HI) atom is an important observational probe of the evolution of the universe from about 0.4 million years after the big bang until today. Future observations will shed light upon important cosmological epochs such as the cosmic dark ages, the epoch of cosmic dawn and the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) of the universe. Keeping in view the ongoing global efforts for detecting the cosmological 21-cm signal, there is an active participation of the Indian community working on several aspects of theory, simulation and observations of these epochs. This workshop is another in a series of annual workshops organised by the Indian SKA Science Working Group in cosmology, to facilitate exchange of updates on ongoing research, to foster new collaborations and to encourage PhD students and early post docs to share their work and gain exposure in the field.
Keeping in mind the large pool of skilled researchers required in future, we will also conduct a school (at a later date) aimed at training junior PhD students and post docs who are either working in the field or intend to explore this avenue of research. The school will consist of a series of theory lectures, hands-on demonstrations and discussions on different methods of analytical modelling, simulations, observations, data reduction and statistical inference for multi-wavelength observations of this early phase of our Universe.
Due to the current COVID-19 protocol, both the school and the workshop will be conducted on online platforms.
