Description

Investigating the interconnection between particle physics, cosmology and gravitational waves, in a multi-messenger approach, is one of the most promising research directions in modern physics. It allows studying inflationary models of the Early Universe, the nature of dark matter (DM) and dark energy (DE), or possible scenarios of modified gravity. Observations of the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation - using Planck and future sub-orbital experiments - and of the Large-Scale Structure (LSS) of the Universe - via Euclid and other galaxy surveys - together with particle physics data from LHC, neutrino and dark matter experiments, and with the recent exciting detection of gravitational waves, provide the biggest joint dataset ever produced for the study of cosmology and fundamental physics. However, the computational challenges generated by this enormous quantity of data are significant, and pose severe limitations on the ability to extract all the information contained in this incredibly rich dataset. In this talk, we will focus on solutions and computational requirements to overcome such limitations, in order to answer outstanding, fundamental questions about our Universe.
