SUMMARY:Discovering Cosmic Reionisation - James Kent
DTSTART:20191126T193000Z

CONTACT:Oliver Normand
DESCRIPTION:The Epoch of Reionisation (EoR) is one of the most mysterious 
 epochs in our\nuniverses history. It stands as one of the main hurdles in\
 nconstraining the parameters of the Lambda-CDM model further. It is\ncurre
 ntly one of the biggest research frontiers in Astrophysics and\nRadio Astr
 onomy.  I will first explain the motivations for exploring\nthe EoR\, and 
 an overview of using the 21-cm hydrogen spectral line. I\nwill discuss cur
 rent experimental efforts\, and the\nenormous difficulties that face radio
  astronomers in trying to detect\nthe highly redshifted 21-cm spectral lin
 e. Tentative results and\ncurrent progress is discussed\, as well as a loo
 k towards the future\nin this growing area of cosmology and astronomy.\n\n
 The talk will be followed by refreshments outside the lecture theatre. \n\
 nThe talk will be at the usual location of Wolfson lecture theatre in the 
 Department of Chemistry. The entrance is the opposite side of the building
  to Bristol-Myers-Squibb Lecture theatre and is opposite the car park- sho
 wn by the red arrow on the map. https://map.cam.ac.uk/Department+of+Chemis
