| Summary:
In this white paper, we present an experimental road map for spectroscopic
experiments beyond DESI. DESI will be a transformative cosmological survey in
the 2020s, mapping 40 million galaxies and quasars and capturing a significant
fraction of the available linear modes up to z=1.2. DESI-II will pilot
observations of galaxies both at much higher densities and extending to higher
redshifts. A Stage-5 experiment would build out those high-density and
high-redshift observations, mapping hundreds of millions of stars and galaxies
in three dimensions, to address the problems of inflation, dark energy, light
relativistic species, and dark matter. These spectroscopic data will also
complement the next generation of weak lensing, line intensity mapping and CMB
experiments and allow them to reach their full potential.
