from 11.15-12.15 (Europe/Amsterdam)
location: CWI/Nikhef (Z011)
This colloquium is part of the "Landelijk Seminarium @ Z011"
Speaker: Steen Hannestad (University of Aarhus)
Title: Probing neutrino physics with precision cosmology
Abstract: Some neutrino properties, such as the absolute mass, can be probed very precisely using cosmological data. In the talk I will review how neutrinos influence the formation of cosmic structure as well current bounds on neutrino properties. I will then discuss future structure formation probes, mainly the recently approved ESA mission EUCLID and its potential for investigating neutrino and dark matter physics. Finally, some of the problems in numerical simulations of structure formation which must be addressed in order to fully exploit future data will be discussed.
