Bayesian Selection of sign(mu) within mSUGRA in Global Fits Including WMAP5 Results (2008)

Feroz, Farhan, Allanach, Benjamin C, Hobson, Mike, AbdusSalam, Shehu S, Trotta, Roberto, Weber, Arne M

We study the properties of the constrained minimal supersymmetric standard model (mSUGRA) by performing fits to updated indirect data, including the relic density of dark matter inferred from WMAP5....

Cosmological parameter estimation with large scale structure and supernovae data (2004)

Odman, Carolina, Hobson, Mike, Lasenby, Anthony, Melchiorri, Alessandro

Most cosmological parameter estimations are based on the same set of observations and are therefore not independent. Here, we test the consistency of parameter estimations using a combination of...

Bayesian joint estimation of non-Gaussianity and the power spectrum (2000)

Rocha, Graca, Magueijo, Joao, Hobson, Mike, Lasenby, Anthony

We propose a rigorous, non-perturbative, Bayesian framework which enables one jointly to test Gaussianity and estimate the power spectrum of CMB anisotropies. It makes use of the Hilbert space of an...

Cosmic Microwave Background experiments targeting the cosmic strings Doppler peak signal (1996)

Magueijo, Joao, Hobson, Mike

We investigate which experiments are better suited to test the robust prediction that cosmic strings do not produce secondary Doppler peaks. We propose a statistic for detecting oscillations in the...
