Description

It’s generally believed that the energy scale of cosmic inflation is much higher than that of the current particle physics colliders. Cosmological collider makes use of the extremely high energy scale of inflation, to determine the features of particles excited by the inflationary background, independent of the details of inflation models. In this talk, we will overview how to use the cosmological collider method to extract the mass, spin, party and lifetime of these particles, and how to relate these features to the particle physics Standard Model and beyond.
