Field theory for cosmology : an effective approach
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Effective field theory (EFT) is our most successful tool to date for exploring the fundamental processes of particle physics: it has been able to describe all know particle interactions in the lab to astonishing accuracy. We are now entering an era of precision cosmology, where we can use the power of EFT, a tool that has only recently been applied to the field of cosmology, to fully make use of cosmological observations. This thesis comprises recent work applying effective field theory in the context of early-universe cosmology and large-scale structure (LSS).
