The aim of this 3-day online (virtual) workshop, "Particle Production and Thermal Effects in Inflation", is to bring together experts from cosmology and particle physics, both on theoretical and computational fronts, to explore the latest developments in this field. This workshop consists of three related topics, (i) thermal effects in inflation, (ii) particle production in inflation & reheating, and (iii) simulations. We aim to provide a platform for professionals with diverse perspectives to share insights, discuss findings, and explore potential new directions in a collaborative setting.
