iTHEMS Cosmology Forum Workshop is a series of short workshops, each focusing on an emerging topics in cosmology. The target audience is cosmologists, high-energy physicists and astronomers interested in learning about the subject, not just those who have already worked on the topic. The goal of the workshop is to provide working knowledge of the topic and leave dedicated time for discussions to encourage mutual interactions among participants.
The fourth workshop is dedicated to new physics discoveries enabled by new spectroscopic data. Nearly three decades after the discovery of accelerated expansion, there is at last compelling data pointing away from the simple cosmological constant. The results of new data hint at evolving dark energy, but the statistical significance and physical interpretation are both far from clear. Furthermore, another anticipated new physics measurement of the neutrino mass has also proven difficult. With this workshop, we aim to interrogate both the statistical evidence for new physics as well as the theoretical implications if these new results are confirmed.
This forum will consist of two days.
The workshop will be in English.
The workshops are organised by the iTHEMS Cosmology Forum working group, which is the successor of the Dark Matter Working Group at RIKEN iTHEMS.
