  1. 4. PLANCK: 2013 Results and Future Prospects
    Dr Anthony Challinor
    07/04/2014, 16:15
    Particle Astrophysics, Current and Future
    I review the main cosmology results from the 2013 Planck release. I will also discuss some developments since the original submission of the papers, and put the Planck results in the context of more recent results from the BICEP2 experiment.

  2. 5. Gamma Ray Astronomy
    Prof. Paula Chadwick

    Particle Astrophysics, Current and Future
    Gamma-rays provide a unique probe of the non-thermal universe, allowing us to investigate a wide range of astroparticle physics and astronomy. At present, instruments such as the space-borne Fermi telescope and the ground-based HESS, MAGIC and VERITAS telescopes are providing us with a wealth of results, covering active galactic nuclei, supernova remnants, pulsars, gamma-ray bursts and many...

  3. 7. Dark Matter Direct Detection
    Dr James Nikkel
    07/04/2014, 17:15
    Particle Astrophysics, Current and Future
    Physicists are still looking for what makes up most of our galaxy, and while there may be some hints, dark matter still has not been conclusively observed in the lab. I will present the current status of direct dark matter detection and the direction in which this research is headed.

  4. 16. Cosmology: What Will the Next Big Discovery Be?
    Prof. Katherine Freese
    07/04/2014, 17:40
    Particle Astrophysics, Current and Future
    Cosmology has just had a major discovery: gravity waves from the early Universe. The Cosmic Microwave Background polarization experiment BICEP2 has announced detection of B-modes, which can be explained as the gravitational wave signature of inflation. I will discuss the significance of these ground-breaking results for cosmology. This discovery, if confirmed in future data sets, is a...
