1 Taking the Universe s Baby Picture David Spergel Princeton
2 Overview n Cosmology after WMAP: Standard Model n Last Two Years: n Improving Sensitivity and Resolution n ACT, SPT, and Planck n Looking to the Future: Advanced ACTPOL
3 radiation density matter IONIZED NEUTRAL redshift
4 What Have We Learned? Amplitude of Temperature Fluctuations 180/Angle n n n n Simple model fits a wide range of data (only 5 numbers) Age of universe:13.7 Gyr Composition: n Atoms: 4% n Matter: 23% n Dark Energy: 73% Scale Invariant Fluctuations seed growth of galaxies n First Stars formed ~200 Myr
5 From Baby Pictures to Today s Universe
6 Growth of Structure National Center for Supercomputer Applications by Andrey Kravtsov
7 SUCCESS OF STANDARD MODEL OF COSMOLOGY THlozek et al. 2011
8 Conclusion: A Simple Model Ø General Relativity + Uniform Universe Big Bang l Density of universe determines its fate + shape Ø Universe is flat (total density = critical density) l Atoms 4% l Dark Matter 23% l Dark Energy (cosmological constant?) 72% Ø Universe has tiny ripples
9 The pieces seem to fit. n Supernova distance n NOBEL PRIZE 2011! n Hubble Constant n Age of Universe n Cluster Properties n Cosmic Abundances n Gravitational Lensing n Absorption Line Statistics

38 NOTES: (1) raw projections based on 20,000 square degrees, 5 µk-arcmin (2) cleaned, based on 12 µk-arcmin which is Jo s estimate for the residual after removing foregrounds 3x larger than in the PSM (3)the solid boxes are simulated on r = 0.2 (4)the semi-transparent boxes have r = 0.0 (5)we still get over 1 sigma on r = 0.01 for the 3x plank cleaning (6)the high ell cleaned error bars are probably pessimistic at high ell a more thorough analysis should reduce these since the foregrounds don t dominate at high ell range.
