SUMMARY:The Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Year 1 Results: Ba
 ryon Acoustic Oscillations and implications for cosmology - Licia Verde (U
 niversity of Barcelona)

DESCRIPTION:DESI represents the culmination of multi-years efforts and adv
 anced spectroscopic techniques. Placed at Mayall 4-meter Telescope\, DESI 
 harnesses the power of 5\,000 robotic fiber positioners\, coupled with sta
 te-of-the-art spectrographs\, to capture the spectral signatures of millio
 ns of galaxies and quasars with unprecedented precision. DESI success is a
 lso based on the collaborative spirit of its community\, more than 400 sci
 entists over 72 institutions.\nThis data release corresponds to the first 
 year of observations\; it holds immense scientific promise across a multit
 ude of fronts: from constraining cosmological parameters\, mapping the exp
 ansion history of the Universe\,   to the properties of dark energy  and t
 he properties of neutrinos. So far only Baryon Acoustic Oscillations (BAO)
  information has been fully analysed and made public.  I will summarise th
 e main findings and  the implications for cosmology.
