Image A Sharper View of the Late-Time Universe: Joint Analyses of Cosmic Microwave Background and Galaxy Surveys The accelerated expansion of the Universe is the most surprising cosmological discovery in decades. It is not predicted by the standard model of particle physics; the amplitude of the leading theoretical explanation, vacuum energy Λ , and observations differ by tens of orders of magnitude. This proposal combines two leading cosmology research groups with complementary expertise to unlock the constraining power of combining Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) measurements and galaxy imaging surveys.
