Beyond the Standard Model of Physics with Astronomical Observations

TL;DR

This paper reviews how recent astronomical observations of the early universe can be used to test and constrain theories beyond the standard model of physics, highlighting recent progress in observational cosmology.

Contribution

It provides a comprehensive overview of how observational data can inform and limit new physics theories beyond the standard model.

Findings

Observational cosmology has advanced significantly, offering new constraints on fundamental physics.

Astronomical data can be used to test theories beyond the standard model.

Recent observations have improved our understanding of the early universe's evolution.

Abstract

There has been significant recent progress in observational cosmology. This, in turn, has provided an unprecedented picture of the early universe and its evolution. In this review I will present a (biased) view of how one can use these observational results to constraint fundamental physics and in particular physics beyond the standard model.
