Nuclear Physics & RIKEN Theory Seminar

"Inflation in the Age of WMAP"

Presented by Will Kinney, University of Buffalo

Friday, October 28, 2005, 2:00 pm — Small Seminar Room, Bldg. 510

Precision cosmological observations, most particularly the WMAP measurement of the anisotropy of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB), have given us a new window on cosmology. In addition to accurate measurements of cosmological parameters such as the density and composition of the universe, CMB observations are for the first time
accurate enough to constrain the physics of the very earliest moments of time, in particular the hypothesized epoch of inflation. I will discuss the status of inflation in light of recent observations, and future prospects for exploring the inflationary parameter space.
