ΛCDM Model
The ΛCDM (Lambda cold dark matter) or Lambda-CDM model is a Parameter#Modelization, parameterization of the Big Bang physical cosmology, cosmological model in which the universe contains three major components: first, a cosmological constant denoted by Lambda (Greek alphabet, Greek Λ) associated with dark energy; second, the postulated cold dark matter (abbreviated CDM); and third, ordinary matter. It is frequently referred to as the ''standard model'' of Big Bang cosmology because it is the simplest model that provides a reasonably good account of the following properties of the cosmos: * the existence and structure of the cosmic microwave background * the Observable universe#Large-scale structure, large-scale structure in the distribution of galaxies * the observed abundance of the chemical elements, abundances of Big Bang nucleosynthesis, hydrogen (including deuterium), helium, and lithium * the accelerating expansion of the universe observed in the light from distant galaxi ...

Parameter
A parameter (), generally, is any characteristic that can help in defining or classifying a particular system (meaning an event, project, object, situation, etc.). That is, a parameter is an element of a system that is useful, or critical, when identifying the system, or when evaluating its performance, status, condition, etc. ''Parameter'' has more specific meanings within various disciplines, including mathematics, computer programming, engineering, statistics, logic, linguistics, and electronic musical composition. In addition to its technical uses, there are also extended uses, especially in non-scientific contexts, where it is used to mean defining characteristics or boundaries, as in the phrases 'test parameters' or 'game play parameters'. Modelization When a system is modeled by equations, the values that describe the system are called ''parameters''. For example, in mechanics, the masses, the dimensions and shapes (for solid bodies), the densities and the visco ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
