The Cosmology of Extra Dimensions and Varying Fundamental Constants A JENAM 2002 Workshop Porto, Portugal 3–5 September 2002
The workshop on The Cosmology of Extra Dimensions and Varying Fundamental Constants, which was part of JENAM 2002, was held at the Physics Department of the University of Porto (FCUP) from the 3rd to the 5th of September 2002. It was regularly attended by about 110 participants, of which 65 were off...
