Cosmological Parameters Review for the 2004 Particle Data Book

A 2004 review article for the Particle Data Book, summarizing knowledge of cosmological parameters as of the end of 2003. The article covers topics including parametrizing the universe, extensions to the standard model, observational probes, and a synthesis of findings. It was published as part of The Review of Particle Physics.

Use Cases

• Historical analysis of cosmological parameter estimation based on the review's synthesis of 2003-era knowledge.
• Studying the evolution of cosmological models based on the discussion of extensions to the standard model.
• Understanding the observational landscape of early-2000s cosmology based on the described probes and methods.

Strengths

• Content is from a peer-reviewed, authoritative publication (The Review of Particle Physics).
• The review synthesizes knowledge from multiple observational probes as described.

Limitations

• The underlying data and specific column-level details are not provided.
• The content is a review article, not a primary dataset, limiting direct computational use.
• The temporal coverage is fixed to knowledge as of the end of 2003.
