Ultimate Experiments
In cosmology one can actually perform ultimate experiments, i.e. those which contain ALL information available for measurement in the sky. The first one of its kind is be Planck (in Temperature) and in this decade we will also have such experiments mapping the galaxy field. Question is: how much can we learn about fundamental physics, if any, from such experiments?
There are many examples: 1. Dark Energy 2. Inflation 3. Neutrino masses 4. Nature of initial conditions 3. Beyond the Standard Model Physics

We can “measure” dark energy because of its effects on the expansion history of the universe: a(t) SN: measure dL CMB: A and ISW a(t) LSS or LENSING: g(z) or r(z) a(t) AGES: H(z) a(t)

However, one can go one step further and build an effective theory… …of expansion.
The simplest theory of expansion involves, besides gravity, a single canonically normalized expansion field described by the leading Lagrangian density
I can copy Weinberg for QCD, BUT here I cannot do scattering… so how to do the power counting?
mass gap
RJ, Talavera & Verde 2011 (arXiv:1107.2542)
![Page 26: R. Jimenez - Fundamental Physics from Astronomical Observations](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032214/55a35efb1a28ab2e548b4624/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
If I obtain the modifications to gravity from growth of structure and/or GW, then I can obtain the lambdas from the expansion rate…

the curvature (Stern et al. 2009)

Summary
• Vast quantity of high quality cosmo data fast approaching: CMB, BAOs, Gravitational waves, 21cm,…
• Fruitful interplay between HEP/cosmo theory and cosmological observation: constraints on axions, neutrino masses, neutrino hierarchy, nature of the initial conditions…
• First determinations of the expansion history of the Universe, H(z), already available at ~ 10% level. They already provide constraints on alternatives to the LCDM model.
