Welcome
The Oxford Dark Energy Initiative is a coordinated effort aimed at stimulating synergies between
theorists, observers and statisticians working on the outstanding puzzle of dark energy.
Recent experiments and observations have shown that 95% of the Universe's energy density
seemingly lies in a Dark Sector comprising Dark Matter, a form of yet undiscovered matter,
and Dark Energy, whose origin is unknown.
Oxford University is developping a coordinated approach to the Dark Sector problem. The Oxford
Dark Energy Initiative will deploy an intense collaborative work between mathematics (String Theory),
theoretical physics, phenomenology and statistics, focussed on elucidating the fundamental nature of
the Dark Sector.
The Initiative is led by Oxford Astrophysics Department.
