8. LiteBIRD: testing cosmic inflation from L2

Prof. Davide Poletti (SISSA Trieste)

The LiteBIRD satellite is a CMB mission targeting the B-mode polarization and the primordial gravitational waves signal that it is expected to carry. Scheduled for flight in the late 2020s, LiteBIRD will complement ground-based efforts by mapping angular scales and observational frequencies unreachable from the ground. In particular, LiteBIRD will constrain both the reionization and the...

9. Through the veil of dust to inflation

Prof. Konstantinos Tassis (University of Crete)

An inflation-probing B-mode signal in the polarization of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) would be a discovery of utmost importance in physics. While recent BICEP results hinting upon the detection of such a signal rallied enthusiasm, Planck showed that this breakthrough is still out of reach, because of contamination from Galactic dust. To get to the primordial B-modes, we need to...

10. Gauge fields in Inflation & Origin of Matter in the Universe

Prof. Azadeh Maleknejad (CERN)

26/05/2021 16:20

Modern cosmology profoundly involves particle theory beyond the Standard Model to explain long-standing puzzles: the origin of the observed matter asymmetry, nature of dark matter, massive neutrinos, and cosmic inflation. In this talk, I will explain that a new setup based on embedding axion-inflation in the gauge extensions of the SM can possibly solve and relate these seemingly unrelated...
