Particle Theory and Cosmology High Energy Frontier : Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will reach energies which prevailed in the primordial universe (~ sec. ). Far reaching implications for fundamental physics and cosmology. Dark Energy: Comprises 70% of the energy density of the universe; behaves as anti- gravity; otherwise completely mysterious. Dark Matter? Hubble Telescope Dark Energy WMAP Satellite LHC tunnel  Dark Matter : Makes up 25% of the universe' energy density; nature unknown.
