Abstract:
The extragalactic background light (EBL) is the integrated intensity of all of the photons emitted along the line of sight through the universe. In this talk, I will first give an brief overview of the cosmic history, and discuss the sources and the measurement methods of the EBL. Then I will introduce the CIBER experiment (The Cosmic Infrared Background ExpeRiment), a sounding rocket experiment optimized for measuring the EBL at near infrared wavelengths, and it has flown four times from 2009 to 2013.
