Location:  Auditorium          

Speaker:   Levon Pogosian (Simon Fraser University)

Title:     Strings in the background

Abstract: Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) has been an invaluable source of information about our universe. I will review the basics of CMB and what we have learned from it so far. I will then discuss the ongoing quest to detect the so-called B-mode polarization, expected from relic gravity waves produced by Inflation, and from other sources, one of which could be cosmic strings.

Stimulants available 15 minutes before the talk.
