SUMMARY:Workshop / Seminar:Cosmo-Astro Seminar | Measuring the Hubble Constant Without the Sound Horizon: A New Constraint from DESI
DESCRIPTION:The Hubble tension\, recently surpassing the 6σ level\, increasingly presents a challenge to the ΛCDM model. A key question is whether this tension stems from our use of the sound horizon as a standard ruler. In this talk\, I will present a new\, sub-2% measurement of the Hubble constant (H₀) that is independent of the sound horizon scale\, using data from the first data release of the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI). The analysis employs a power spectrum rescaling technique that marginalizes over the sound horizon information\, drawing instead on the matter-radiation equality scale as a standard ruler. Combining DESI’s full-shape galaxy clustering with uncalibrated post-reconstruction BAO and the CMB acoustic scale θ*\, along with various external sound horizon-free datasets\, results in highly robust constraints that are among the most precise to date from LSS. Looking ahead\, this measurement offers a new window on beyond-ΛCDM physics and the physical origin of the Hubble tension.

SUMMARY:Exhibition:For All Ages Exhibit
DESCRIPTION:In the 19th century\, new ideas about childhood and education\, along with advances in printing like chromolithography\, made it possible to mass-produce games and toys. These were not only fun to play with but also taught practical skills and moral lessons. Learn about familiar and unique toys and board games throughout American history in the William L. Clements Library’s new exhibit\, “For All Ages” on view weekdays from 12-4 pm between October 3-January 5.\n\nEven though the objects are behind glass\, the co-curators have created an interactive way to explore the display. Visit the exhibit to participate in a scavenger hunt and win a prize!
