Precision cosmology And Dark sectOr physics with graVitational wAves

Objective

Upcoming gravitational wave (GW) surveys will detect thousands of resolved events, and possibly the stochastic GW background, with multiple surveys across the electromagnetic (EM) spectrum providing complementary cosmological and astrophysical datasets. As GW and EM surveys probe the same realization of the underlying matter density field, multi-probe analyses which fully take into account statistical correlations between all probes are expected to provide significantly more information than that carried by the individual probes. In this action I will develop the theoretical understanding and tools required to perform multi-probe GW analyses involving data from GW, Cosmic Microwave Background, and Large-Scale Structure surveys, while receiving top-class training from world experts at the University of Padova. I will develop a pipeline to robustly carry out such analyses on real data, conduct a detailed investigation of fundamental physics scenarios which these analyses can probe, and provide the first applications to real data. In doing so, I will open new windows onto the evolution of the Universe, the origin and growth of fluctuations, the nature of dark matter and dark energy, the behavior of gravity on cosmological scales, and the origin of black holes, while developing novel tools to arbitrate cosmic tensions. This action will unleash the full power of multi-probe GW cosmology, establishing such analyses as a precision cosmological tool, and developing methods which will form the backbone of these analyses for years to come. Successful completion of this project will establish me as a world leader in precision GW cosmology, while delivering a huge contribution towards maximizing the scientific output and return for a major part of Europes investment in cosmology and astrophysics.

Fields of science (EuroSciVoc)

CORDIS classifies projects with EuroSciVoc, a multilingual taxonomy of fields of science, through a semi-automatic process based on NLP techniques. See: The European Science Vocabulary.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

HORIZON-TMA-MSCA-PF-EF - HORIZON TMA MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships - European Fellowships

Net EU contribution

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
