Particle Physics on the Cosmological Collider

by Dr Yi Wang (Hong Kong University of Science and Technology)

Thursday 25 Jul 2019, 15:30 → 16:30 Asia/Shanghai

Meeting Room 410,TDLI（Tsung-Dao Lee Library）

Abstract

Cosmological collider physics is the proposal to model-independently probe mass, spin and parity for the particle content during inflation. We introduce the idea of the cosmological collider,

and its application to the particle physics Standard Model. Special emphasize will be put on the Higgs sector, including its dynamics during inflation, and how to use modulate reheating to

realize a Cosmological Higgs collider.
