Towards the Chalonge 16th Paris Cosmology Colloquium 2012: Highlights
  and Conclusions of the Chalonge 15th Paris Cosmology Colloquium 2011
  The Chalonge 15th Paris Cosmology Colloquium 2011 was held on 20-22 July in
the historic Paris Observatory's Perrault building, in the Chalonge School
spirit combining real cosmological/astrophysical data and hard theory
predictive approach connected to them in the Warm Dark Matter Standard Model of
the Universe: News and reviews from Herschel, QUIET, Atacama Cosmology
Telescope (ACT), South Pole Telescole (SPT), Planck, PIXIE, the JWST, UFFO,
KATRIN and MARE experiments; astrophysics, particle and nuclear physics warm
dark matter (DM) searches and galactic observations, related theory and
simulations, with the aim of synthesis, progress and clarification. Philippe
Andre, Peter Biermann, Pasquale Blasi, Daniel Boyanovsky, Carlo Burigana,
Hector de Vega, Joanna Dunkley, Gerry Gilmore, Alexander Kashlinsky, Alan
Kogut, Anthony Lasenby, John Mather, Norma Sanchez, Alexei Smirnov, Sylvaine
Turck-Chieze present here their highlights of the Colloquium. Ayuki Kamada and
Sinziana Paduroiu present here their poster highlights. LambdaWDM (Warm Dark
Matter) is progressing impressively over LambdaCDM whose galactic scale crisis
and decline are staggering. The International School Daniel Chalonge issued an
statement of strong support to the James Webb Space Telescope (JSWT). The
Daniel Chalonge Medal 2011 was awarded to John C. Mather, Science PI of the
JWST. Summary and conclusions are presented by H. J. de Vega, M. C. Falvella
and N. G. Sanchez. Overall, LambdaWDM and keV scale DM particles deserve
dedicated astronomical and laboratory experimental searches, theoretical work
and simulations. KATRIN experiment in the future could perhaps adapt its set-up
to look to keV scale sterile neutrinos. It will be a a fantastic discovery to
detect dark matter in a beta decay. Photos of the Colloquium are included.
