Summary
Dark matter particle physics and the first sources of light in the universe. Dark matter is a mysterious, invisible substance that underlies all the structure we see in the universe today. The project will show how the first sources of light in the universe were affected by the particle physics of dark matter and will make predictions for how astronomical observations can be used to solve the enigma of dark matter's true nature.
Fundamental physics in distant galaxies. The fundamental constants of Nature are assumed to characterise physics in our entire Universe, but are they really the same everywhere and throughout its entire 14 billion year history? This project will answer this question with the first large-scale, purpose-built observational programme on one of the world's biggest and best telescopes.
