- Cosmological recombination: The effect of high-n states
- Time: 4:00 pm
- Place: 4274 Chamberlin
- Speaker: Daniel Grin, Caltech
- Abstract: I will present ongoing work to incorporate the effects of very high excitation states of atomic hydrogen on the recombination history of the universe. After a review of recombination, I will discuss the relevance of cosmological recombination for CMB observables, our approach to the high-n problem, and preliminary results.<br><br>
