Can We See Planck/Stringy Physics via the CMB?

Hiranya Peiris (U Chicago) - Nov. 17 at 12:00 noon

I will discuss the possibility that physics at the Planck or string scales modifies standard estimates of the inflationary perturbation spectrum. I will summarize the likely signatures of these modifications, and present a detailed investigation into the fundamental limits upon their detection by future high precision CMB experiments.

The seminar will be held in 544 Campbell Hall.
