Hunting for the gravitational-wave background: Detection methods and implications for astrophysics, high energy physics, and the early Universe
Mairi Sakellariadou, King's College London - UK, December 18, 2023
I will first briefly introduce the gravitational-wave background and the detection methods with terrestrial interferometers.
I will then highlight the implications for compact binary coalescences, beyond the standard model particle physics and early universe cosmological models. Finally, I will discuss how one can use the gravitational-wave background to infer the large-scale-structure of the Universe and the origin of dark matter.
