1 Implications of cosmological observables for particle physics: an overview Yvonne Y. Y. Wong The University of New South Wales Sydney, Australia TAUP 2015, Torino, September 7 11, 2015
2 The concordance flat ΛCDM model... The simplest model consistent with present observations. (Nearly) Massless Neutrinos (3 families) 5% 69% 26% Composition today Plus flat spatial geometry+initial conditions from single-field inflation 13.4 billion years ago (at photon decoupling)
3 Particle content of the concordance ΛCDM model... Interacting Protons, He4 nuclei Cold dark matter Observables Ionisation & recombination Coulomb Galaxies, Hydrogen clouds, etc. Electrons Spacetime metric Hot DM light neutrinos (3 families) Compton Photons Cosmic microwave background SM interaction Gravity
4 Particle content of the concordance ΛCDM model... Interacting In a standard ΛCDM fit only the CDM energy density and the baryon density are free parameters. Cold dark matter Ionisation & recombination Coulomb Galaxies, Hydrogen clouds, etc. Electrons Spacetime metric mν=0.06ev Minimum value from oscillations experiments Protons, He4 nuclei Observables Hot DM light neutrinos (3 families) Fixed ν-to-γ number density ratio assuming SM physics Compton Photons Energy density fixed by COBE FIRAS Cosmic microwave background SM interaction Gravity
5 Beyond ΛCDM and the standard model... Interacting Many good reasons why we might want to modify this picture and test the modifications against cosmological observables. Theoretical motivations (BSM physics) Complementarity to laboratory and other astrophysical searches Protons, He4 nuclei Cold dark matter Observables Ionisation & recombination Coulomb Galaxies, Hydrogen clouds, etc. Electrons Spacetime metric Hot DM light neutrinos (3 families) Compton Photons Cosmic microwave background SM interaction Gravity

See talks of Link and Palazzo Anomalies in short baseline neutrino oscillation experiments: LSND and MiniBooNE electron (anti)neutrino appearance Reactor anti electron neutrino disappearance Combined best fit : 2 2 Δ m SBL 1 ev sin 2 2 θsbl clearly at odds with the standard 3-neutrino interpretation of the global oscillation results. Can be explained with a sterile neutrino. Kopp, Maltoni & Schwetz 2011

13 Δ N eff SBL-preferred mixing parameters full thermalisation can be expected. msbl 1 ev Δ N eff 1 Looks to be at odds with the Planck constraints: But there are ways (involving new physics) around these constraints...
