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...

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...

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...
