Dear All,

Shadab Alam is going to tell us about his recent work today at 2pm in Wean Hall 8325 (seminar room)! Join us in grilling him with very hard questions and I will try to scavenge around to get some edibles!

Time : 2pm
Place: 8325 Wean Hall

Speaker: Shadab Alam
Title: Redshift Space Distortion: Measurement and Implications

Abstract: I will start with the idea of Redshift space distortion and its modeling. I will describe in some detail the measurement of RSD we recently submitted for SDSS-III DR11 CMASS sample using Convolution Lagrangian Perturbation Theory. This will be followed with the discussion of implication of our measurement of f\sigma_8 when combined with other similar measurement. I will show constraints we obtained on modified gravity and extension to $\Lambda$CDM models using the measurement of growth rate with planck CMB. I will also discuss our recent proposal of combining the measurement of growth rate with CMB lensing to test gravity at largest scale and earliest time.
