CosmoGold IAP 2019

The golden age of cosmology from Planck to Euclid

24-28 June 2019, IAP, Paris


confpic

Cosmology is living a scientific golden age characterized by an unprecedented amount of high-quality data. A very large number of different experiments, aimed at observing the universe from the very early times of the Cosmic Microwave Background till the latest evolution of the Large Scale Structure, are currently testing cosmological models and measuring cosmological parameters at percent and sub-percent level.

The conference will be a landmark of our current understanding of the universe in a moment of transition between the two largest ESA missions on this subject, the Planck satellite, whose final data release happened mid-2018, and Euclid, slated for launch in 2021.

This conference will therefore be the perfect occasion to review the agreement or disagreement among CMB and non-CMB experiments (weak lensing, BAO, BBN, local measurements of H0, gravitational waves, etc..) and to discuss the open issues and questions left for the future, both from the theoretical and experimental point of view. This will naturally lead to discuss how the upcoming and future experiments in cosmology, such as Euclid as well as other CMB and large scale structure probes, will help answer these questions, and hopefully might even lead to totally new ways of addressing them.
