The Cosmological Standard Model, its Tensions, and New Physics - Lecture 2

Explore a comprehensive lecture from the 3rd IAGRG School on Gravitation and Cosmology that delves into the Cosmological Standard Model, examining its inherent tensions and potential implications for new physics. Delivered by Florian Niedermann at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences, this 106-minute presentation forms part of an intensive two-week program designed for graduate students and researchers in cosmology. Learn about cutting-edge developments in modern cosmology, including both theoretical frameworks and observational evidence, while understanding how recent advancements in observational techniques like Cosmic Microwave Background observations, Large-Scale Structure Surveys, and Gravitational Lensing have enhanced our understanding of universal parameters. Gain insights into contemporary cosmological challenges and their potential solutions through new physics, as part of a broader curriculum covering inflation, galaxy surveys, and CMB physics.
