Dear Colleague,

The recently established Center for Cosmology at the University of
California, Irvine is hosting a workshop on the theoretical study and
observational detection of first luminous objects and signatures of
reionization in the Universe. The workshop will be held at the Beckman
Center, UCI Campus on Thursday, May 19th, 2005 to Saturday, May 21st, 2005.

The workshop will consists of presentations and discussions related to
following topics (in random order of importance):

Astrophysics of first sources
Reionization and it's signatures in CMB
Narrow-band Lyman-alpha Searches
Mid- and Far-IR Observations
21 cm background theory and experiments
High redshift quasar and galaxy observations
Gamma-ray bursts
Future Facilities and Instrumentation

We are hoping to have an equal mix of observers, experimentalists, and
theorists. There is no registration fee. Registration and abstract submission
deadline, if interested in giving a talk, is April 15th, 2005.

For a list of confirmed speakers and other practical details, please visit
