SUMMARY:Science with CMB spectral distortions - Jens Chluba (IoA Cambridge
 )

CONTACT:Tommaso Giannantonio
DESCRIPTION:Since COBE/FIRAS we know that the CMB spectrum is extremely cl
 ose to a perfect blackbody. There are\, however\, a number of processes in
  the early Universe that should create spectral distortions at a level tha
 t is within reach of present day technology. I will give an overview of re
 cent theoretical and experimental developments\, explaining why future mea
 surements of the CMB spectrum will open up an unexplored window to early-u
 niverse and particle physics\, with possible non-standard surprises but al
 so guaranteed signals awaiting us. I will also highlight the complementary
  of the distortion signals and the CMB anisotropies\, showing that future 
 distortions measurements will shed new light on different inflation models
