3rd Global 21-cm Workshop

Purpose of the meeting

The field of 21-cm Cosmology is experiencing a rapid growth, with both theory and experiments producing new high impact science on a regular basis. The theme of the global 21-cm signal has been driving the attention of the international community since the results from the EDGES Low Band experiment were published in early 2018. The reported signal detected by EDGES cannot be explained by standard physical models and triggers questions on both theoretical and experimental aspects. Several experimental groups around the globe are currently exploiting different strategies and experimental approaches aiming at throwing new light on the matter. At the same time, theorists are trying hard to explain the detection using both standard physics and exotic scenarios.

This meeting aims at bringing together, for the 3rd time, the Global 21-cm community, both experimentalist and theoreticians, to discuss the progress in the field and the prospects going forward.

The meeting will be organized and hosted by the University of Cambridge, UK. Meeting venue: Sackler lecture theatre (Institute of Astronomy) at the Astronomy Campus of Cambridge University, Madingley Rd, Cambrdige, CB3 0HA, UK.

We very much look forward to seeing you online in the fall of 2020!
