The wealth of recent cosmic microwave background and large-scale
structure data has transformed the field of cosmology. These
observations have not only become precise enough to answer
questions about the universe on the largest scales, but also to
address puzzles in the microscopic description of Nature. This
thesis investigates new ways of probing the early universe, the
properties of neutrinos and the possible existence of other light
particles. In particular, based on detailed theoretical insights
and novel analyses, new evidence for the cosmic neutrino background
is found in the distribution of galaxies and in cosmic microwave
background data. This tests the Standard Model of particle physics
and the universe back to a time when it was about one second old.
Furthermore, it is demonstrated that future observations will be
capable of probing physics beyond the Standard Model since they can
achieve a particular target which would either allow the detection
of any light particles that have ever been in thermal equilibrium
or imply strong bounds on their properties.
