Testing the equivalence principle on cosmological scales


Webinar:- Testing the equivalence principle on cosmological scales

The weak equivalence principle is one of the cornerstones of general relativity. Its validity has been tested with impressive precision in the Solar System, with experiments involving baryonic matter and light. However, on cosmological scales and when dark matter is concerned, the validity of this principle is still unknown. In this talk the speaker will show how relativistic effects in the large-scale structure can be used to test whether dark matter obeys the weak equivalence principle. She will present forecasts for this new test of gravity for future surveys like the SKA.

“Copernicus Webinar and Colloquium Series”: To promote scientific discussions during this pandemic, they are organizing an online seminar series, i.e. Copernicus Webinar Series, seeking the most outstanding speakers to introduce innovative ideas and important progress in the field of gravity and cosmology. This series is named after the famous Polish Astronomer, Nicolaus Copernicus, whose discovery eventually marked the dawn of modern science.

此活動由歐洲核子研究組織CERN主辦。
