Michael James Wilson (Institute of Astronomy, U. Edinburgh) "Extracting precision tests of gravity from the intricate pattern of galaxies"

50A-4133 (Director's Conference Room)

ABSTRACT: Galaxy redshift surveys deliver increasingly precise tests of gravity on cosmological scales and shed light on the uncertain nature of Dark Energy. I will present the VIPERS (http://vipers.inaf.it) census of the galaxy distribution at redshift 0.8 and describe its …

Siyuan Sun (Harvard) "Gaining Sensitivity to New Physics with a Compressed Mass Spectra at the ATLAS Experiment"

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

ABSTRACT The ATLAS experiment at Large Hadron Collider (LHC) searches for experimental ev- idence of many new beyond the standard model physics at the TeV scale. As we collect more data at the LHC we continue to extend our sensitivity …

Kirit Karkare (Harvard) "B-Mode Polarization Results from BICEP/Keck Array and Beam Systematics in Current and Next-Generation CMB Experiments"

Abstract: The BICEP/Keck Array cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization experiments located at the South Pole are a series of small-aperture refracting telescopes focused on the degree-scale B-mode signature of inflationary gravitational waves.  I will present our latest results which have …

Taylor Hoyt (University of Chicago) “Using Astrophysical Distance Indicators to Test Standard Cosmology”

Zoom Talk 50A-5132, Berkeley, ca

Abstract: Measurements of the universe's present-day expansion rate, or the Hubble constant (H0), that use a Cepheid variable star calibration of Type Ia supernovae (SNe Ia) are in >4σ disagreement with values predicted by the standard, Lambda cold dark matter …
