SUMMARY:SPEAKER: Steve Choi (Cornell)- TITLE: Probing fundamental physics by mapping the millimeter and submillimeter sky
DESCRIPTION:This is an In-Person Event \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room – 50A-5-5132 \nTitle: Probing fundamental physics by mapping the millimeter and submillimeter sky \nAbstract: Cosmology has transformed from a field of speculation to precision science as a result of a wealth of data from sensitive instruments. In particular\, precise observations of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) have revolutionized our understanding of the Universe. Despite the success of the standard model of cosmology (ΛCDM) in describing much of the cosmos with just six parameters\, many fundamental questions remain unresolved. Are there primordial gravitational waves? Are there new light relic particles? How will the current cosmological tensions be resolved? Improved mapping of the millimeter and submillimeter sky will help address these questions. I will highlight recent results from the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT)\, and describe how the new ACT maps will advance our understanding of the Universe beyond Planck. I will also present recent progress on CCAT-prime and Simons Observatory that are paving the way for CMB-S4 in pursuit of next-generation cosmology. \nZoom Information \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95679892182?pwd=RU5xU2dDRFNabnR1U3pQMklkYWFIdz09 \nMeeting ID: 956 7989 2182 \nPasscode: 169037

SUMMARY:Speaker: Sara Simon (Fermilab)-Title: Precision Cosmology with the Cosmic Microwave Background
DESCRIPTION:This is an In-Person Event \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room – 50A-5-5132 \nTitle: Precision Cosmology with the Cosmic Microwave Background \nAbstract: The cosmic microwave background (CMB) provides an unparalleled opportunity to advance our understanding of the fundamental physics of the universe. Recent and ongoing experiments have contributed to our understanding of neutrinos\, dark energy\, and dark matter through measurements of large-scale structure imprinted on the CMB and constrained the conditions in the early universe\, tightly restricting inflationary and other cosmological models through measurements of CMB polarization. Next-generation CMB experiments like CMB-S4 will further constrain the sum of the neutrino masses and the number of relativistic species\, expand our understanding of dark energy and dark matter\, and set new constraints on cosmological models describing the first moments of the universe. The polarization in the CMB is faint\, so future experiments must be at least an order of magnitude more sensitive than current experiments. These unprecedented levels of sensitivity require improved systematic mitigation via modeling and novel calibration techniques. I will give an overview of the science achievable with these next-generation experiments and the advances in technology that are critical for its this leap in performance. \nZoom Information \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95679892182?pwd=RU5xU2dDRFNabnR1U3pQMklkYWFIdz09 \nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464 \nPasscode: 142239

SUMMARY:SPEAKER: Clara Verges (Harvard)- TITLE: A window on the Universe with the next-generation of millimeter-wave telescopes
DESCRIPTION:This is an In-Person Event \nLocation: Sessler Conference Room – 50A-5-5132 \nTitle: A window on the Universe with the next-generation of millimeter-wave telescopes \nAbstract: Cosmology 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 second after the Big Bang to unveiling the dark Universe and 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 technological challenges that the CMB community must meet to ensure the scientific success of future experiments. \nJoin Zoom Meeting\nhttps://lbnl.zoom.us/j/95679892182?pwd=RU5xU2dDRFNabnR1U3pQMklkYWFIdz09 \nMeeting ID: 988 5432 2464 \nPasscode: 142239
