Dear All,
Just a reminder that today, in the last cosmology seminar of 2008, we
have Olivier Dore from CITA:
***************************************************************
Probing primordial non-gaussianity and testing gravity with large scale
structure surveys
The questions facing cosmologists are salient : inflation, dark energy
and dark matter.
However, the next generation of large scale structure surveys will allow
us to address
them in original ways. I will illustrate this with two examples which go
beyond the
obvious cosmological probes. The first one demonstrates how to constrain
with
unmatched sensitivity the primordial non-gaussianity using large scale
galaxy clustering
measurements. The second presents a new test of gravity on large scales
using jointly
weak-gravitational and galaxy surveys.
***************************************************************
The seminar will be at 12 noon in H503 (Huxley Building-South Kensington
Campus).
We will go to lunch with the speaker at 1pm.
