Neutrinos in Cosmology - A Match Made in the Heavens
Explore the fascinating intersection of neutrino physics and cosmology in this colloquium talk by Yvonne Wong from The University of New South Wales, Australia. Delve into the standard hot Big Bang model's prediction of a pervasive background of relic neutrinos, the most abundant known particles in the universe. Discover the challenges of directly detecting these elusive particles and learn about their significant gravitational impact on the universe's evolution. Examine various ways neutrinos influence large-scale cosmic structures and how cosmological observations can provide insights into neutrino physics in the early universe. Gain a deeper understanding of the intricate relationship between these subatomic particles and the cosmos in this comprehensive 1-hour and 14-minute presentation.
