Cosmology in the era of Cosmic Microwave Background Polarization
Friday, September 6th, 2024, 11:30am – Aula D (old SISSA building) & streaming
Abstract. We discuss the opportunities for cosmology in light of the start of the Stage III+ CMB observations, targeting primordial gravitational waves and lensing. We highlight the near and far future objectives, describing the opportunities for combining CMB probes, in this and the next decade, with Large Scale Structure surveys.

The Primordial Black Holes Variations
Friday, October 4th, 2024, 11:30am – Aula D (old SISSA building) & streaming
Abstract. In the era of gravitational wave astronomy and direct black hole imaging, the possibility that some of the black holes in the universe have a primordial, rather than stellar, origin, and that they might be a non-negligible fraction of the cosmological dark matter, is both timely and intriguing. I will review the status of the field, describe search strategies and future prospects for detection across many decades in black hole mass, discuss how light primordial black holes could seed both baryonic and particle dark matter in the very early universe, and comment on how the search for primordial black holes may lead to a deeper understanding of the elusive Galactic “rogue planets”.
