FI: TENSIONS IN COSMOLOGICAL MEASUREMENTS: A STANDARD MODEL CRISIS? - DOTT. GUIDO RISALITI
SEZIONE DI FIRENZE The so-called "concordance" cosmological model has been the cornerstone of observational cosmology. Even if it is based on components of unknown physical
origin (inflation, dark matter, the cosmological constant) its agreement with an impressive set of independent observational measurements made it quite
successful for many years. However, recently several new observations posed a serious challenge to this model: a more than 4 sigma difference between the
measured value of the Hubble constant and its predicted value based on CMB data, a deviation between the observed and predicted expansion of the Universe at
high redshift, and a tension between the most recent Planck CMB data and the hypothesis of flatness. I will review the main observational data supporting the
standard scenario, and I will discuss these recent tensions, and possible solutions beyond the "concordance" model. (dott. Guido Risaliti)
