The Cosmic Microwave background and the Standard Model of Cosmology

Mittwoch, 7. März, 14:00 Uhr, HS Chemie

Structures in the cosmic microwave background, whose discovery was awarded with the Nobel Prize in 2006, have allowed precise determinations of cosmological parameters. It is now justified to speak about a standard model of cosmology, although fundamental questions remain, indicating that a new era of cosmological research has begun. I shall summarize what we have learned form the cosmic microwave background, describe what the standard model of cosmology is constructed upon and what it entails, and what the most fundamental questions are that now arise from it.
