Event details
Elucidating the nature of dark matter, dark energy, and dynamics of the early universe stand as major challenges of modern cosmology and particle physics. I will present a new program of addressing these challenges with galaxy surveys. This program builds on particle physics tools that have allowed me to achieve sub-percent precision analytic understanding of galaxy clustering on large scales. I will share some results of this program that include new measurements of fundamental cosmological parameters and constraints on new physics beyond the standard models of particles and cosmology.
NOTE, this Colloquium is taking place on Thursday
