Exploiting cross correlations and joint analyses
Abstract
The nature of the dark energy thought to be causing the accelerating expansion of the Universe is one of the most compelling questions in all of science. Any of the explanations for the accelerated expansion, whether a new field, a negative pressure fluid, or a modification to General Relativity will signal new physics and have a profound effect on our understanding of the Universe. The current observational constraints on dark energy and modifications to gravity still allow for a large range of models and theoretical explanations. Given the importance of dark energy, we must attack the problem from a variety of angles, taking advantage of cross-correlations between and joint analyses of different probes, missions, wavelengths, and surveys, to enable the most stringent cosmological constraints.
