Training Week


25 Aug, 2025 - 29 Aug, 2025

Advanced School on Precision Cosmology and Dark Matter

Abstract

This school is tailored for PhD students and postdoctoral researchers interested in using cosmological observables to unravel the nature of dark matter. The program will focus on the state-of-the-art methods for modeling the universe on large scales, developments in BSM model building for cosmology and the interpretation of CMB observations and galaxy survey data, which can provide key insights into the properties of dark matter. Participants will gain hands-on experience through tutorials on using state-of-the-art cosmological codes to analyze data and test theoretical models. By combining lectures with practical sessions, the school will equip attendees with essential tools to drive research at the forefront of cosmology and dark matter physics.

Topics

Perturbation theory for LSS -- Mikhail Ivanov (Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
Data selection and analysis in LSS -- Elisabeth Krause (University of Arizona)
CMB and linear theory -- Julien Lesgourgues (RWTH Aachen University)
Cosmology beyond ΛCDM -- Hongwan Liu (Boston University)

In addition, we will organize a set of tutorials on using new BBN codes, CLASS and CLASS-OneLoop and pipeline for the full-shape reanalysis of the BOSS data.

Poster session

The participants who would like to present a poster are kindly invited to send an email with the title and a short abstract to alice.bernamonti@unifuit before May 22, specifying for which week of the workshop. Since a limited number of panels is available, the organizers will select the posters shortly after the deadline.
