Prof. Levon Pogosian (SFU)

Lambda, w and beyond (physics colloquium)
Accelerating expansion of the universe is well-established, but the physics behind it remains unknown. While the cosmological constant, Lambda, seems like a safe bet, other theoretical proposals have not been ruled out. Fortunately, upcoming astronomical surveys of large scale structure will dramatically improve our ability to test Lambda, and this will be the subject of my talk.
