Studies of Structure Formation and Cosmology with Galaxy Cluster Surveys

Surveys of galaxy clusters provide a promising method of testing models of structure formation in the universe. Within the context of our standard structure formation scenario, surveys provide measurements of the geometry of the universe and the nature of the dark energy and dark matter. Cluster catalogues will be constructed using some combination of X–ray, optical/near–IR, and mm or cm-wave o...

Astronomy and Astrophysics Cosmology from Cosmic Microwave Background and Galaxy Clusters

We present the results of analysis of constraints on cosmological parameters from cosmic microwave background (CMB) alone and in combination with galaxy cluster baryon fraction assuming inflation– generated adiabatic scalar fluctuations. The CMB constraints are obtained using our likelihood approximation method (Bartlett et al., 2000, Douspis et al., 2001). In the present analysis we use the ne...

High-Energy Astrophysics and Cosmology

Interfaces between high-energy physics, astrophysics and cosmology are reviewed, with particular emphasis on the important roles played by high-energy cosmic-ray physics. These include the understanding of atmospheric neutrinos, the search for massive cold dark matter particles and possible tests of models of quantum gravity. In return, experiments at the LHC may be useful for refining models o...
