This interdisciplinary field is now a growing area and it currently addresses very fundamental questions of the universe, such as models beyond the Standard Model, the nature of <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Neutrino\">neutrinos <\/a>and dark matter, the creation of cosmological <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Baryon_asymmetry\">baryon asymmetry<\/a>, models of inflation in the early universe and the presence of dark energy. These problems may be related to a more fundamental theory such as string theory.
