Constraining cosmology beyond the standard model with precision CMB experiments

by Prof. Renée Hložek (Dunlap Institute for Astronomy & Astrophysics, University of Toronto)

Monday Jun 1, 2026, 11:00 AM → 12:00 PM Europe/Madrid

C7b/058 - Seminar (IFAE Main Building C7b)

I will present cosmology constraints from the Data Release 6 of the Atacama Cosmology Telescope (ACT) in both temperature and polarization, paying special attention to what ACT tells us about models of dark matter, and the initial fluctuations of inflation. I will describe the upcoming science from the next-generation experiments also located in the Atacama desert of Northern Chile such as the Simons Observatory that is currently taking data.
