From WMAP papers, 8. CONCLUSIONS Spergel et al. (2003) Cosmology now has a standard model: a flat universe composed of matter, baryons, and vacuum energy with a nearly scale-invariant spectrum of primordial fluctuations. In this cosmological model, the properties of the universe Spergel et al. (2007) are characterized by the density of baryons, matter, and the expansion rate: b, m ; and h. FortheanalysisofCMB 9.

The errors on the WMAP data at large l are now tion,. The primordial fluctuations in this model are 3 times smaller, and there have been significant improvements in characterized by a spectral index. Despite its simplicity, it is other cosmological measurements. Despite the overwhelming an adequate fit not only to the WMAP temperature and force of the data, the model continues to thrive. This was the basic polarization data but also to small-scale CMB data, largescale structure data, and supernova data. This model is con- result of Spergel et al. (2003) and was reinforced by subsequent analyses of the first-year WMAP data with the SDSS (Tegmark sistent with the baryon/photon ratio inferred from observations of D/H in distant quasars, the HST Key Project 7. CONCLUSION et al. 2004a) and analysis of first-year WMAP plus the final 2dFGRS survey (Sanchez et al. 2006). After the analyses in this paper were completed, a larger With SDSS 5-years LRG sample of integration, was released. the WMAP temperature and polarization data have improved significantly.

WMAP papers, again Cosmology is now in a similar stage in its intellectual development to particle physics three decades ago when particle physicists converged on the current standard model. The standard model of particle physics fits a wide range of data but does not answer many fundamental questions: What is the origin of mass? Why is there more than one family? etc. Similarly, the standard cosmological model has many deep open questions: What is the dark energy? What is the dark matter? What is the physical model behind inflation (or something like inflation)? Over the past three decades, precision tests have confirmed the standard model of particle physics and searched for distinctive signatures of the natural extension of the standard model: supersymmetry. Over the coming years, improving CMB, large-scale structure, lensing, and supernova data will provide ever more rigorous tests of the cosmological standard model and search for new physics beyond the standard model. Spergel et al. (2003)

ror on w is 10%, and that from curvature is below 1% unless smology is rather non-standard. Hence our result is still limy the SDSS-II BAO data volume and not by our knowledge other cosmological parameters in Eq. (16). Of course, these sions only hold for mild perturbations from the concordance logy; for other cases, one should return to the raw distance aints. We note that these expressions have not used theanguustic scale in the CMB, so they are independent of what is ning with dark energy at z>0.35. ig. 5 shows the BAO constraints from Eq.
