Inflationary Models and Large Scale Structure Surveys

Note: 2 PM
Speaker: Daniel Green, Stanford University

When: October 5, 2012 (Fri), 02:00PM to 03:00PM (add to my calendar)
Location: PRB 595

This event is part of the HET Seminar Series.

Abstract :  Large scale structure surveys have emerged as a powerful probe of the statistics of the primordial curvature perturbations.  I will review why these probes are robust, despite the non-linearity of structure formation.  I will then explain how information about underlying models is encoded in the distribution of galaxies and dark matter.
