SUMMARY:Speaker: Clara Verges (Harvard) - Title: A new era for cosmology with current and next-generation CMB experiments
DESCRIPTION:Research Progress Meeting \nDate: February 20\, 2024 \nTime: 4:00- 5:00 pm  \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room- 50A-5132 [In-Person and HYBRID]  \nSpeaker: Clara Verges (Harvard) \nTitle: A new era for cosmology with current and next-generation CMB experiments \nAbstract: \nCosmology has experienced a considerable surge in the past thirty years\, and is now well established as a precision science. While the standard cosmological model provides an effective description of the observed Universe\, many fundamental questions remain unresolved. From shedding light on the very first fractions of seconds after the Big Bang to looking for exotic physics\, the Cosmic Microwave Background continues to be a unique probe for fundamental physics. The next generation of CMB polarisation observatories\, embodied by CMB-Stage 4 for ground observations\, will explore this window into the Universe in an unprecedented way\, enabling breakthrough science. I will review how current experiments such as the BICEP/Keck telescopes pave the way for this next stage\, by developing efficient technologies and observing strategies\, and by sharpening constraints on theoretical models. I will then discuss the scientific and technological challenges that the CMB community must meet to ensure the success of future experiments. \n\nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95679892182?pwd=RU5xU2dDRFNabnR1U3pQMklkYWFIdz09 \nMeeting ID: 956 7989 2182 \nPasscode: 169037
